Hello there.

My name is Mr. Barnsley.

And thank you for joining me in today's lesson.

Today we are gonna be diving in to Chapter 9: "Dr.

Lanyon's Narrative." And I am so excited that we are finally gonna be opening one of those letters.

I wonder what's inside.

Come and join me in today's lesson and let's find out.

So let's have a look at today's outcome.

So by the end of today's lesson, you will be able to explain the role that curiosity plays in Chapter 9.

Now, as ever, we're gonna start with five keywords.

They are on the screen now.

They are curiosity, epistolary, to succumb, a verb, transgressive and prodigy.

Very shortly, the definitions of each of these five words are going to appear on the screen.

If you need to, you may wish to pause the video to take a few moments to jot them down.

That's fantastic, great practise.

But it's really important you get to know each of these words so that you feel confident with what they mean when you come across them in today's lesson.

And hopefully you might even be able to use them in your own discussion.

Let's have a look at that first word though, because it was in our outcome for today.

And that's curiosity.

So the definition for curiosity is the strong desire to know or learn something really important, because our lesson is gonna be focusing around that idea and that theme today.

The definitions of the other four words are about to appear on screen.

Like I said, pause the video if you need a bit more time to read them.

Okay, let's have a look at the outline of today's lesson.

This is quite a lengthy chapter today, so we're gonna be reading this, stretching the reading of this across the whole lesson.

But we're still gonna break the lesson down into two learning cycles.

In the first learning cycle, the first learning cycle's called Jekyll's cry for help.

So that might give you some hints, some predictions about what might happen in this chapter.

And then the second is the truth behind Mr. Hyde.

And I know as you read Chapter 8, you might have thought you were gonna get to the truth, but hopefully by the time we get to at the end of Chapter 9, we are gonna know the truth about Mr. Hyde and his relationship to Dr.

Jekyll.

So as you can see, the title of today's lesson is "Dr.

Lanyon's Narrative." And this is a real hint that we're gonna be looking at things through Dr.

Lanyon's perspective.

Okay, let's dive straight in then to Jekyll's cry for help.

So before we get started, let's have a little bit of a discussion.

So I want you to think about this, Chapter 9 is written from Dr.

Lanyon's perspective.

As the reader, we are finally getting to read his account.

Why is this so interesting? So pause the video.

If you've got a partner to discuss with, that's fantastic.

You can discuss this question on the board.

But don't worry if you're working by yourself.

You can just take a few moments to think through this question independently.

And if you want, you might even wish to make a few notes.

Okay, pause the video, over to you, and press Play when you are ready to continue.

Wonderful, I heard some really animated discussions there and fantastic to all of those of you who were doing equally good listening as you were doing speaking.

I heard some fantastic things and the Oak pupils are gonna summarise some of the brilliant things that we heard.

So Aisha says, "Well, until now we've only followed the case from Utterson's perspective.

Okay, so it's really gonna be really interesting to hear different views and potentially find out about things that Utterson himself hasn't witnessed." So we as the reader have been unaware of what has happened.

Some great ideas and I heard some lovely things along that line from you as well.

Now Alex says that he's very intrigued, he's very interested to hear about the contents of the letters being revealed.

We know the letters have been a really important part of this novella, but many of them have been left sealed and locked away.

So we've not been able to find out what's inside, but now is the moment of truth.

We're gonna rip that envelope open and find out what sits inside.

So Alex is really excited for that and he very cleverly points out that this is an example of the epistolary form.

So remember that was one of our key words today.

And an epistolary is a form of novella.

It's a type of writing, a book where you write in the letter form.

So the end of this novella is, or you could describe this as an epistolary novella, because some of our chapters take the form of letters.

So that's really fantastic knowledge from from Alex there.

And it's something we should definitely try and use when we are talking about this text.

That is, it is an epistolary novella.

All right, I'm gonna throw the reading over to you.

We've been doing some fantastic reading throughout this novella and it's definitely over to you to do some independent reading here.

I am gonna give you a little bit of context to set you off or a little bit of a reminder to try and frame our reading.

So up until this point, the reader has seen many examples of the upper-class Victorian gentleman choosing silence and the preservation of reputation over truth and honesty.

That's really important.

We know this.

We've seen it time and time again.

We've seen Jekyll and Enfield agreeing to stay in silence.

We've seen them walking away rather than, from Jekyll's laboratory rather than knocking on the door and trying to find out the truth.

We've seen people hiding letters away, securing them in safes rather than opening them and revealing the truth.

We've seen this time and time and time again.

That's a really important thing to remember as we frame our reading today.

So I'm gonna hand over to you to read the first part of the chapter up until, you will know that you've seen the last of Henry Jekyll.

So when you get to that point, it's really important that you pause.

Now whether you are reading this independently by yourself or whether you're reading this collectively as a class, just a reminder, it's really important that we always ask ourselves questions to check that we are understanding what we are reading, okay? So after reading this section or after reading Jekyll's letter to Lanyon.

So yes, this is Dr.

Lanyon's narrative.

I'm also giving you a little hint that we're gonna hear about another letter within this letter.

I want you to see if you can answer these questions.

What is Dr.

Jekyll asking from Lanyon? Can you see any examples of Jekyll trying to preserve his reputation? And where can you see examples of Jekyll willing to reveal the truth? Okay, it's over to you now.

So pause the video, take your time, read through this carefully.

Ask yourself questions.

And remember if you can't answer them at any point, just pause and reread.

Okay, pause the video and press Play when you are ready to continue.

Welcome back, some wonderful reading going on there, and a massive congratulations to anyone who asks themselves further questions more than just the ones on screen.

They created their own questions to check their understanding.

A really, really good habit to get into, so well done if that was you.

Okay, we're gonna do a check for understanding to see if we did understand what we've read so far.

So true or false, Henry Jekyll is willing to let Lanyon know the truth.

Is this truth or is this false? Pause the video, have a think, and press Play when you are ready to continue.

Well done and fantastic if you said true.

That is of course true.

Henry Jekyll is definitely at this point willing to let Lanyon know the truth.

But let's justify this.

How do we know that this is true? Well, is it A, that Jekyll promises to tell Lanyon the truth about Hyde, but he wants something in return? He wants his protection and he wants him to agree to help him look after Mr. Hyde.

Or is it B, in return for bringing him the content of his drawer, Jekyll promises an explanation if Lanyon wants it.

So both of these are suggesting that Jekyll wants something in return, but he's willing to tell Lanyon the truth.

But which one of these is the correct justification? Pause the video, have a think, and press Play when you are ready to continue.

Yes, well done if you said B.

Of course Jekyll wants something here.

He wants the contents of his drawer.

But he does say to Jekyll, "Look, if you help me here, I will let you know the truth." But he does say this is Jekyll's choice.

Sorry, this is Lanyon's choice.

He says, "Look, if Lanyon wants to know the truth, he'll tell them the truth." And that's really important for us to focus on as we continue reading this chapter.

Okay, we're gonna continue to show our understanding of the reading we've done so far through our first practise activity.

Now this practise task is going to give you, I'm gonna give you the same main clause three times, okay? But each time it's gonna be followed by a different conjunction.

What you're gonna do is you're gonna write a main clause after this conjunction to create a compound sentence.

Remembering a compound sentence is when two main clauses that make sense by themselves are connected by a conjunction.

Let's have a look at that main clause, shall we? So the main clause I am giving you is Dr.

Jekyll reaches out to Dr.

Lanyon, okay? We know that's true.

He sends him a letter, he reaches out for his help, okay? But I'm gonna give you three very different conjunctions because, but, and so.

Now each of those conjunctions are gonna force us to think very carefully about the main clause that we're gonna put after it, okay? They're gonna ask us to do slightly different things here.

So pause the video.

I want you to write these three sentences, but think very carefully, what is that conjunction asking me to do? Pause the video, give this a go, and press Play when you are ready to continue.

Welcome back, I saw some fantastic work there, and well done to those of you who were being really critically thinking about the purpose of each conjunction and how that altered the ideas that you could put after it.

Let's have a look at some of the things that you could've said.

And whenever I share model answers, it's a great opportunity for you to compare mine to yours and even better opportunity for you to steal some of my ideas if you had something slightly different.

Okay, let's have a look at this first one, Dr.

Jekyll reaches out to Dr.

Lanyon because he is desperate for someone to retrieve the contents of his drawer.

So what we're doing here is we're giving an explanation, a justification of why Dr.

Jekyll has reached out.

And we know we use that conjunction, because all the time when we're trying to justify our own interpretations.

The second one, Dr.

Jekyll reaches out to Dr.

Lanyon, but he is anxious Lanyon may reject his call for help.

Jekyll's heart sinks and his hand trembles at the thought.

So here, the but conjunction suggests we're gonna offer an alternative viewpoint of looking at it.

Yes, Dr.

Jekyll is reaching out to Dr.

Lanyon, but that doesn't mean that he is sure that Dr.

Lanyon will help him.

It adds an element of doubt to Jekyll's cry for help.

And finally Dr.

Jekyll reaches out to Dr.

Lanyon.

So Lanyon must decide whether he helps his old friend or risks his conscience being charged with Jekyll's death.

Okay, so the conjunction so here is saying there's gonna be a consequence to the actions in that first main clause.

Yes, Dr.

Jekyll will reach out to Dr.

Lanyon, but there's gonna be a consequence of that.

And the consequence is that Lanyon is now gonna have to make a decision.

Does he want to help his friend that he's fallen out with or does he want to risk the potential that he's gonna have Jekyll's death on his conscience? Jekyll really is emotionally manipulating him here in this letter.

Well done if you said something similar, but don't worry if you said something different, that's absolutely okay, but just make sure that obviously anything you've said can be justified through reference to the text.

Right, let's continue reading Chapter 9 then, shall we? We're gonna look at our second learning cycle today, the truth behind Mr. Hyde, and I am really, really hopeful we are gonna get to the bottom of the truth here.

We have been waiting a long, long time for this.

Okay, so you are gonna read Chapter 9 now from upon the reading of this letter to the end of the chapter.

And as you read, it's really important that you take your time to pause and discuss.

I want you to think about what does the reader learn about the case from Dr.

Lanyon's narrative.

So really think about everything we learn in this chapter.

So again, I've got some questions to support you, because we know asking questions is a really important part of reading and they are, who turns up to Dr.

Lanyon's home? How does Dr.

Lanyon feel about the visitor? The visitor gives Dr.

Lanyon a choice.

What is it? And what is the revelation at the end of the chapter? Okay, so pause the video.

Over to you for some independent or class reading and press Play when you are ready to continue.

Welcome back, some fantastic reading going on there, and, or making notes if you're working by yourself.

And well done to the people I saw, really great, flicking back and forward in their text, okay? Looking for evidence from a variety of sections in that chapter.

Really, really well done.

Great if you're making links across a text, across a chapter.

So let's have a look at some of the things that you may have said.

Let's really shine a spotlight on some of those fantastic ideas that you might have had whilst you were discussing and see if we can work out the truth behind Mr. Hyde.

So well done to everyone who said Dr.

Lanyon was visited by a small man, but really interesting that it was someone that Dr.

Lanyon had never set eyes on before.

And I saw some kind of, some brains whirring and some kind of flicking back and forth and thinking, okay, who? Like, oh, is this, you know, is this a character we've seen? We know Mr. Hyde has been described as a small man, so we're thinking it probably could be him, but Dr.

Lanyon isn't saying it's Mr. Hyde, so then I could see some people trying to track back in the text.

Has Dr.

Lanyon ever said he's met Mr. Hyde before? Really some great detective work going on and some flicking through the no novella to try and work out whether Lanyon had ever met Mr. Hyde before.

It's really interesting that Dr.

Lanyon finds his visitor to be revolting, but, key word here, like his curiosity was still peaked.

You know, he still was really interested in the origin of this man.

And again, if this is Mr. Hyde, this isn't the first time we've seen this reaction.

We've Utterson be utterly appalled by his looks, but we know that Utterson was quite interested in him in the character.

So more and more hints that this visitor may be Mr. Hyde from the way that Lanyon is describing him.

Now Mr. Lanyon's brought the contents of the drawer that Dr.

Jekyll had requested and the visitor kind of uses these to create a potion.

But before he drinks this potion, he encourages Lanyon to succumb, to give in to his curiosity and discover the truth.

He says, "Look, option for you, you know, if you want to know the truth, you can stay, and I will tell you the truth." I will drink this potion in front of you.

I will stay and you can see the truth.

But if you want, I can leave.

I can drink this elsewhere and you don't need to know the truth.

He's really tempting him though.

And we'll be thinking about, you know, how he tempts Lanyon in a little bit more detail shortly.

And ultimately, Lanyon does give in.

He succumbs to his curiosity and he tells his visitor to stay, drink the potion in front of me, and he does.

And by drinking this potion, Mr. Hyde transforms back into, or transforms into Dr.

Henry Jekyll.

Shock, maybe it's a shock.

Maybe you'd already predicted this, but it seems at this point at the end of the chapter, that this potion or this potion allows Jekyll and Hyde to transform from one to the other.

Did you see that coming? I wonder if you did.

Okay, let's do a check for understanding then.

Which of the following is the most accurate summary of Dr.

Lanyon's response to his visitor? Is it A, Dr.

Lanyon is repulsed by his visitor, but he's also curious to know more about him.

Is it B, Dr.

Lanyon is disgusted by his visitor's appearance.

He feels unsafe with him in his home.

Or is it C, Dr.

Lanyon is amused by his small visitor's clothing.

It's too big for him, which makes him look silly, and therefore not intimidating in the slightest.

Okay, pause the video, give this a go and press Play when you're ready to continue.

Great job if you said A.

He's really repulsed by his visitor, but he is very curious to know more about him.

C, you know, he did find the fact that the he was wearing very large clothing for himself.

We may now be starting to work out who that clothing actually belongs to.

And it did make him look a bit silly, but I don't think that meant that Lanyon wasn't intimidated by him at all.

He obviously found him disgusted, repulsive, disgusting, and yeah, so I think it would be too much of a stretch to say that he wasn't intimidated.

And also with B, I don't think we can say he felt completely unsafe though at the same time.

You know, he was definitely curious, so I think A is the best of those summaries or the most accurate.

Okay, now we know the truth, Jekyll and Hyde are the same person.

Hyde is a result of Jekyll's experiments that have happened in his laboratory.

But this, we've had many, many, many clues across the novella that this is the case.

But perhaps one of the clearest clues was a quotation that Jekyll wrote in his letter to Utterson that we read in Chapter 6.

It really did give us a hint at the truth of the relationship.

And I want us to look at this quote again because it's a really important quote and it's a quote that we can use in our analysis of the text whenever we do our own written analysis of the text.

And it is, "I am the chief of sinners.

If I am the chief of sinners, I am the chief of sufferers also." So let's have a think, how does this quotation below point to the truth about Mr. Hyde? Pause the video, have a discussion, or if you're by yourself, just make a few notes and press Play when you are ready to continue.

Fantastic job, I heard some great discussions there, and well done to those of you who are really zooming in on individual words and using them to help you make your inferences.

And let's shine a spotlight on some of the fantastic things that were said then, shall we? Well, this idea of being the chief of sinners, it was a clue that Jekyll and Hyde were the same person.

We knew that, you know, now we can see that Jekyll is admitting that he was committing the sins of Hyde.

And we certainly know that one of the greatest sins that anyone could commit is murder.

And Chapter 6 is after Chapter 4, the murder of Sir Danvers Carew.

So the fact that he calls him chief implies that he's committed terrible sins.

He's like the head of all sinners.

So this really is a sign that Jekyll and Hyde were the same person and Jekyll is responsible, you know, or maybe feels responsible for the crimes that Hyde has committed.

But also he described himself as the chief of sufferers and this suggests that Jekyll was making Hyde unwell, both physically and mentally.

So maybe he was kinda feeling very guilty and he was torturing himself, because of the guilt that he felt because of the crimes Hyde had committed.

But it also implies that maybe physically the act of transforming was making Jekyll feel unwell.

And we can most obviously see this in Chapter 7 when we see Jekyll looking very sad, you know, a disconsolate prisoner.

But he also looks very unwell and unhealthy sitting in his window.

And we know that he slams that window down and he conceals the truth from Utterson and Enfield.

So that we can kind of start to see that maybe the act of transforming between Jekyll and Hyde was making Jekyll suffer, possibly both physically and mentally.

Well done if you said anything similar to those ideas.

Now I want one final discussion question then.

Up until this point we thought as Lanyon as being much less transgressive, much less experimental than Jekyll, he would seem to be much more straight down the line, a more sensible scientist.

You know, he once even described Jekyll's scientific experiments as unscientific balderdash.

So why do we think that Lanyon, a man described such as this, would want to know the truth about Jekyll and his visitor? Pause the video and have a discussion and press Play when you are ready to continue.

Okay, I heard some fantastic discussions there.

Well done.

I want to use this check for understanding to like bury a little bit deeper and see what the ideas that we came up with.

So which of the following statements would you say is true? Is it A, Dr.

Lanyon is a transgressive scientist and therefore he was curious to know more about his visitor? Is it B, whilst Dr.

Lanyon is not as transgressive as Jekyll, his curiosity still led him to wanting to know the truth? Or is it C, as Dr.

Lanyon is not a transgressive scientist, he did not want to know the truth about Jekyll.

Pause the video, make your selection, and press Play when you are ready to continue.

Yes, well done if you said B.

It's clear that Dr.

Lanyon is not as transgressive as Jekyll.

He doesn't experiment in the same way.

But that doesn't mean he's not curious.

Like ultimately at the very heart, scientists are curious.

They want to know more.

They want to learn more about the world that we live in.

So his curiosity, even if he wasn't a particularly transgressive scientist, still really led him to wanting to know more.

So let's have our final discussion, a final practise activity of the lesson.

And we're going to be discussing this question that you can see on the screen.

How does Lanyon's visitor, who we know is a Mr. Hyde, encourage him to embrace his curiosity? So we're gonna read through and annotate an extract of the text, so you're gonna need to flick through your novella and find this extract.

It's gonna be on the next slide, so we can read it together.

But you're gonna want to annotate in your text.

I want you to highlight words and phrases that the visitor uses to persuade Lanyon to succumb, to give it in to his curiosity.

And then you're gonna use those annotations to have a discussion with your partner.

If you're working by yourself, you can make some notes as well.

So how does this, thinking about how does Lanyon's visitor encourage him to embrace curiosity.

Okay, so let's look at the extract that we are going to be reading together.

Says, "And now," said he, "to settle what remains.

Will you be wise? Will you be guided? Will you suffer me to take this glass in my hand and go forth from your house without further parley? Or has the greed of curiosity too much command of you? Think before you answer, for it shall be done as you decide.

As you decide, you shall be left as you were before, and neither richer nor wiser, unless the sense of service rendered to a man in mortal distress may be counted as a kind of riches to the soul.

Or if you shall so prefer to choose, a new province of knowledge, a new avenues to fame and power shall be laid open to you here in this room upon the instant and your sight shall be blasted by a prodigy to stagger the unbelief of Satan." Okay, pause the video, find this extract in your novella, annotate, underline, highlight, and then have a discussion.

How does the visitor, how does Mr. Hyde persuade Lanyon to succumb to his curiosity? Pause the video and press Play when you're ready to continue.

Great job there.

I saw some fantastic highlighting and underlining.

Okay, let's go through this text together then.

Let's pull out some of the things that you may have identified.

And of course, as ever, if you've not said any of these things, you can add your annotations as we go through this feedback together.

So well done to anyone who identified these rhetorical questions at the start of this extract.

They're almost taunting Lanyon here.

'Cause actually, who wouldn't want to be wise? Who wouldn't want to know more? You know, it's like these questions are rhetorical, because there is is only one real answer here, and that is of course you want to be wise.

You're a scientist.

And here it says that actually it's Lanyon's curiosity is in control for him.

It creates this idea that curiosity and wanting knowledge is a real overpowering desire that lies inside many of us, and particularly will lie inside scientists.

And here it says that, you know, by saying, look, if you don't want to find out the truth, you'll be neither rich or wiser.

Well, actually what he's implying here is you will become richer.

You will become wiser for knowing the truth.

And again, really playing into this idea that scientists want to be rich with knowledge.

So he's really playing on what he knows will really appeal to Lanyon and this idea of gaining greater knowledge.

He also implies that that that knowledge within knowledge or kind of power is held within knowledge, so you become more powerful the more you know.

And finally, he's kind of teasing Lanyon here and saying, you're gonna witness something outstanding and so outstanding, there's almost this biblical language here, although not positive biblical language, the unbelief of Satan.

He's really giving a warning here that what you're gonna see is not gonna be good, but it's gonna be outstanding.

You can see that keyword progidy, which really, prodigy, sorry, which really kind of links this idea of something outstanding.

Okay, you have done some fantastic work in today's lesson.

Thank you so much for joining me.

On the screen, you can see a summary of everything we've learned.

Do pause the video if you need to, read through these, and double check that you have a confident understanding of all these things, including those key words.

It's been great working through Chapter 9 with you.

I do hope you join me for some future lessons in this unit.

Have a great day.

Thank you so much, goodbye.
