Hello there.

Welcome to today's lesson.

My name is Mr. Barnsley, fantastic to see you today.

So we are gonna be continuing our study of the novella, "The Strange Case of Dr.

Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" today.

But this time it is over to you.

You are gonna be doing your own analytical writing, particularly focusing on the theme of duality.

Okay, I think it's time for us to dive straight in.

Okay, so let's have a look at today's outcome.

By the end of today's lesson, you are gonna be able to write an extended and developed response all about the theme of duality.

There are three keywords in today's lesson.

The first of which is conventional, which means ordinary or typical, following common standards or practises.

The second is a verb to uphold, which means to support, to maintain, or defend a principle or belief.

And we might think about this in the way that many of our characters uphold the strict moral standards and codes of upper class Victorian Britain.

And then that verb to tarnish means to damage, or to stain the reputation or appearance of something.

And again, this one's really useful when we think about the importance of reputation and how easily reputations could be tarnished if the truth about Jekyll's relationship with Hyde was ever to come out.

Okay, so here are three keywords I want to look out for, how we use them in today's lesson, and you may find you can use them in your own analytical writing in later today.

So there are three main learning cycles today that make up our lesson.

Firstly, we're gonna be thinking about the question of how we approach the question that we're gonna be answering today.

We are then gonna move on to our planning, which will be using single paragraph outlines or multiple paragraph outlines, wanting to plan more than one paragraph.

And then we will move on to writing an essay in our final learning cycle of today's lesson.

So let's start then by looking at the question we are going to be covering today.

So before writing an essay, it is really important to plan and reading the question and picking out key words is a good way to start our planning.

So we are gonna look at this question for a minute.

This is not the question you are writing today.

We're gonna use this one as an example to work through together.

How does Stevenson use Jekyll to explore ideas about hypocrisy? So read that question and discuss, and this is a great time.

If you've got a partner, you can work with them.

But don't worry if you're working by yourself, you can also just pause the video, and think through this independently.

So read the question again and discuss what are the key words and what is it that you are being asked to do? All right, pause the video, have a look at this question again and think what are the key words here? And what am I being asked to do over to you? Remember to press play when you're ready to continue.

Welcome back, some really great discussion there.

And I could see people tussling over which words were the most important there.

Let's see if you highlighted similar ones to me then, shall we? I highlighted how, Jekyll, and hypocrisy.

Okay, let's have a look at why I highlighted these and see if this matched to the kind of discussions or the thinking you were doing.

So for how, this how refers to the writer's methods.

I'm gonna need to analyse Stevenson's language and structural choices and comment on why he made them.

What was his purpose? What were his intentions? Some of you may have highlighted Stevenson's name for this reason, because it is really important that we think we remember, we're not just writing about a character and a storyline, that if we're writing about a text, we're always thinking about it, how it's been deliberately crafted, okay? It's been created for a very specific reason and in a very specific way.

So I can understand if you might have highlighted Stevenson here.

However, I highlighted how, because how is the reminder that I want to think about Stevenson's methods, you know, how he constructed this text.

For Jekyll, this was a reminder that the focus of my question is on the character of Jekyll.

So it means that I need to think about Jekyll's key plot points, and I need to link these to the idea of hypocrisy.

And so hypocrisy was the other word I highlighted, because to me this is a reminder that this is the key theme that I am gonna be exploring.

And in my response, I'm gonna use the character of Jekyll really as a springboard to examine Stevenson's overarching message.

Okay, going back to the how.

And I really wanna be thinking about how is Jekyll used to show Stevenson's message about hypocrisy.

And of course I can link to other characters as required.

I'm not forced only to talk about Jekyll.

But Jekyll is gonna definitely appear in my opening paragraphs, because he's gonna be my springboard to looking at this message from a wider perspective.

Well done if you highlighted any similar words to me.

And of course, like I said, you might have highlighted Stevenson as well and fantastic if you picked out, or you really managed to identify what this question was asking you to do.

Okay, then let's check that we understand how to unpack a question.

So here is your essay question.

Here is the question that you are gonna be looking at later today.

How does Stevenson use Jekyll, and his creation Hyde, to explore ideas around the dual nature of man? All right, pause the video.

I think in this one there are four key words or phrases.

Some of them might be slightly longer than one word that you are gonna want to identify here.

So pause the video and see if you can work out which four words or phrases are really important to helping us understand what this question is asking us to do.

Pause the video and give us a go, and press play when you're ready to continue.

Welcome back.

Fantastic work there.

Let's have a look and check how we got on.

So well done if you said the following, how, Jekyll, Hyde, and dual nature of man.

Okay, so for that first key word, that's the how, that's the reminder that we're focusing on Stevenson's methods.

Again, you might have highlighted Stevenson here.

So if you said Stevenson instead of how, I think that's acceptable.

But the other three, I don't think we can debate.

Okay, we need to be talking about Jekyll, but we also need to be talking about the actions that he, or the crimes that he commits as Hyde.

Remembering that these two are the same character, but we do want to not just focus on Jekyll when he presents as Jekyll, but also when he presents as Hyde.

And then this final phrase, the dual nature of man.

This links to the idea of duality.

The fact that humans are made up of contrasting parts, the good and the bad, the respectable, and the elicit internal desires.

So I think that's a real reminder.

that we're focusing on duality and the dual nature of man.

Well done if you've said any of the things that you can see on the screen.

Okay, so once you understand the question, then you need to start thinking about your overarching argument.

What is it that you want to talk about? So to do that, I always mind map all of the ideas I have around Jekyll.

And if we're looking at this kind of practise question, the one that we shared at the beginning of the lesson, I would start thinking about, okay, how does Stevenson use Jekyll as a vehicle to explore his own views on hypocrisy? And at this point, I'm not trying to think about actual techniques, I'm not trying to think about methods, I'm not trying to think about language techniques or structure.

I want to just think about kind of general ideas.

What is Stevenson's message about hypocrisy? All right, before I share with you what I was thinking, why don't you just pause the video for a minute and just think through what would you say, what would your main ideas be if you were thinking about how Stevenson uses the character of Henry Jekyll as a vehicle to explore his own views on hypocrisy? All right, pause the video, have a think, and press play when you're ready to continue.

Okay, welcome back.

I'm about to share with you some of my ideas, but of course, we will have different ideas and that's okay.

In fact, it's more than okay, that's brilliant.

Wouldn't be boring if we all wrote the same identical essays about the exact same points.

Of course, there are some ideas that we really shouldn't miss out in certain questions.

So there is always gonna be some overlap, but it's really nice, it's brilliant when we see pupils bringing their own ideas to a question.

So here are some of the things that I might want to talk about.

So I might want to talk about how there is a real pressure on Jekyll to behave in a conventional manner, in a way that's expected of him.

There is a pressure for him to uphold those moral standards, okay? He has to behave in a certain way.

However, we know Jekyll creates Hyde, who is a completely monstrous character as a way of expressing his repressed desires.

Those desires that don't uphold the moral standards that are not conventional.

We know that the novella encourages the reader to make judgements about Jekyll's hypocritical behaviour.

Okay? Remember it's called "The Strange Case of Dr.

Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." And in some ways, we as the reader act as a jury.

But I believe the novella is encouraging us to make judgements about Jekyll's hypocritical behaviour.

We're not necessarily judging people for having a dual nature, because arguably duality appears in every one of us.

So it would be hypocritical of us to judge people for having these conflicting feelings and emotions inside them.

I'm gonna argue that actually what we are judging is the hypocritical of behaviours of Jekyll who decides to act on these things in such a monstrous way.

But I'm also remembering that final part that I might use Jekyll as a springboard to talk about other characters.

I think my final argument in my essay is gonna say, "Look, other characters are guilty of protecting Jekyll," and this is perhaps out of fear of their own reputations being tarnished, being ruined.

So I'm gonna say it's not just Jekyll who illustrates, or is a vehicle for criticising upper class hypocrisy, but other characters can be blamed as well, okay? And that allows me to talk about more than just Jekyll and bringing my knowledge of other characters and the text as a whole.

So there's some of my ideas.

You might have had some of those, you might have had very similar ideas to that, and that's great.

But well done if you had other ideas as well.

Okay, like I said, fantastic that we have a range of ideas whenever we look at an essay question.

So true or false time now.

Check how we're getting on.

You should mind map your ideas as part of the planning process.

Is that true or false? What do you think? Pause the video, have a think, and press play when you're ready to continue.

Yes, welcome back.

That of course is true.

Let's justify that.

This will help to organise your thoughts in a logical argument, or this will help you to show that you know the plot of "The Strange Case of Dr.

Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." Pause the video, have a think, and press play when you're ready to continue.

Yeah, well done if you said A.

It should actually help you to organise your thoughts in a logical manner, okay? Think about everything you know, and then when we move on to the second stage of planning, you can start thinking about, "Okay, which arguments go together?" Well done if you've got both of those answers correct.

Okay, it's now over to you to think about your essay question for today, which is of course, how does Stevenson use Jekyll and his creation Hyde to explore ideas around the dual nature of man? Okay, what I want you to do now is mind map all of your ideas about Jekyll, his behaviour as Hyde, and what this tells us about the dual nature of man.

Remember to make points.

At this point, we don't need to be commenting on the writer's methods.

And once you've done that, I want you to think, "Okay, I've looked at my whole mind map, which three of these are gonna be my most interesting points that are gonna help me form an overarching argument." 'Cause actually the reality is I'm not gonna be able to talk about everything.

So I'm gonna have to be quite selective about which of those arguments I want to use in my essay.

All right, pause the video over to you to do some creative mind mapping, and press play when you think you are done.

Welcome back, some fantastic mind mapping there.

On the screen, you can see just some of the ideas of things that you might have said.

And like I said, don't worry if you don't see some of your ideas up there.

There are plenty of things you could have said for this question.

Here are just four of them.

However, if you do like any of these ideas that I'm sharing, you might want to add them to your mind map, and you might even consider using them in your own essay.

So again, this question seems like it is appropriate for us to say that Hyde is a result of the societal pressure Jekyll felt to uphold moral standards.

We could also say that actually Jekyll chose to make Hyde, his decision leads to the death of other characters.

So Carew and Lanyon for example.

We could say that Jekyll is clearly conflicted by his creation.

We know he tries to live without Hyde in chapter seven, we see him living as a disconsolate prisoner trying to protect the world from his creation.

But ultimately, we know that could not live without Hyde.

And in chapter 10, we know he admits that he enjoyed the freedom that Hyde gave him.

So plenty of different ideas we could include for this question over to you to think what are your three favourites? All right, pause video, have a think, and then press play when you're ready to continue.

Right, I really enjoyed mind mapping ideas with you.

Now it's time to turn this into a more concrete plan.

So we are gonna be considering the main part of our essay as we are planning.

You should have used single paragraph outlines before.

They are a great way of structuring your arguments.

They look like this.

We have topic sentences, supporting detail, and concluding sentences.

You are gonna need to and you're gonna aim to do three main body paragraphs in an essay.

I think it's always nice to have three clear arguments within your essay if you have time to write them out.

All right, let's do a quick check.

We should have used single paragraph outlines before.

So this hopefully you can spot what is missing here, but what is missing from this planning grid here.

There's something that goes at the top, pause the video, have a think, and press play when you're ready to continue.

Really well done if you said topic sentences.

Of course we should start every paragraph by being really clearly using a sentence to really clearly outline what the purpose of that paragraph is and what argument I will be covering within that paragraph.

So let's remind ourselves what a good single paragraph outline will look like.

Okay, so as part of our topic sentences, we're gonna use our mind map to create our topic sentences.

Some of those ideas are gonna be used to form our topic sentences.

We also want to make sure we're linking back to the question.

So there should be some keywords of the question in those topic sentences to take our ideas, and think about how we can insert some keywords from the question in there.

You also want to start by indicating, you know, a specific example you're gonna talk about.

Of course, we are gonna link to different ideas within the text, but we want to start to guide the reader.

You know, are we gonna start by talking about the beginning of the novella or at the end of the novella? And you know, Jekyll's statement perhaps.

So really think about where in the text is a good starting point, a good springboard to exploring this idea.

We also want to make sure we're including discourse markers.

Think about really logically ordering our argument.

All right, so you know a discourse mark, like firstly of course acknowledges that this is gonna be the first argument.

Furthermore suggests we're building on the argument we've already made.

However, might suggest that we're gonna look at maybe a slightly different viewpoint in one of our paragraphs and that's okay as well.

So let's have a look an example.

So although Jekyll's hypocrisy is clear through his creation of Hyde, Stevenson explores societal hypocrisy through the inaction of other characters in the novella.

This for me feels like my third paragraph.

So I've looked at two paragraphs that really seem quite critical of Jekyll and his hypocrisy in creating Hyde here.

This, although signposts a slight change in direction.

And actually what I'm doing here is saying, "Look, it's not just Jekyll who's responsible, but actually Stevenson uses other characters to explore societal hypocrisy as well," okay? So that you can see here, this really shows I've used Jekyll as a springboard to talk about other characters and how they represent societal hypocrisy.

So onto supporting details, just a reminder, these should only be in note form.

You should really think about the logical sequence.

You know, does it make sense that I'm talking about these ideas in what order? Identify which are main quotes, which are gonna be the quotes that I am diving and do some analysis, and which are just supporting quotes that are gonna help prove my argument.

But actually, I don't need to do any word level analysis there.

If I am gonna do some word level analysis, make sure I've identified what methods have been used and underline those keywords that I want to zoom in on.

So let's have a look at an example here.

So I might start with that analogy from chapter one where Enfield talks about, "It's like starting a stone," pushing a stone down a hill.

He says, "The reason why I don't ask questions." And this is really interesting, 'cause I can talk about how Enfield chooses not to ask questions about Hyde, because he doesn't want to find out some truth that could tarnish his or the reputation of someone else.

And actually this pairs really nicely with this reoccurring motif, this kind of pattern that I see throughout the novella of silence, where actually a lot of our characters choose not to say anything.

And those two things pair really nicely.

I also want to look at this quotation, "The packet slept in the innermost corner of his private safe." This is a really useful supporting quotation, because it reminds me that Utterson has the solution of the case quite early on, this is in chapter six, but he keeps it locked away.

Now I might not do load the detailed language analysis of this quotation, but instead use it to talk about context here.

And the context really around upper class respectability and the importance of preserving reputation rather than tarnishing it.

And then I might want to link on, 'cause this leads me nicely to thinking about the form and structure, and talk about how Stevenson uses some conventions of the epistolary form.

That's the kind of letters.

And actually these letters tie nicely to this symbol of the sealed envelope.

And these become symbols of concealment and secrecy, and all of this links back to the real hypocrisy of the upper classes who decide to preserve their reputation rather than revealing the truth.

So you can see I've got some really, really great supporting detail there in my plan.

And finally our concluding sentence where we want to use conclusive discourse markers, things like thus, or ultimately, or clearly, but basically say it, look, I'm about to summarise the argument in my paragraph.

I want to refer back to that topic sentence.

I don't want want to repeat it word for word, but I want to see some relationship between my opening sentence and my closing sentence.

And I want to really conclude the argument and the ideas in my paragraph, because I'm gonna be moving on to a new idea in my next paragraph.

So I want to kind of signpost to my reader that I'm wrapping this paragraph up.

So, and a good example of this might be, therefore, Stevenson uses his novella to expose the hypocrisy of the upper middle class who valued reputation over truth.

Right, over to you.

Then for your next task, here's your essay question.

I want you to use your mind map and key points from task A to create your single paragraph outlines for your essay.

You should have a grid like this, so it's time for you to fill this in, pause the video, give this a go, and press play when you are ready to continue.

All right, great planning there.

Let's take one more moment to reflect on the quality of our plans by using these questions to self-assess the work that we have done.

So do you have topic sentence that clearly reference the question and introduce your main point? Does your supporting detail include main and supporting quotes with methods identified? And do you have concluding sentences that refer to the topic sentence and summarise your ideas? All right, double check that plan before we move on and do some writing.

Pause the video and press play when you're ready to continue.

All right, welcome back.

It's time for us to write our essays.

So your overall essay structure should look like this.

You should have an introduction.

Remember, you should have covered instructions before.

That's the three part.

Move from the general to the specific, and you should have a really interesting thesis statement.

You should then have your three points.

These are all gonna be individual paragraph.

We've planned these out.

Think about your topic sentences, your supporting detail, concluding sentences.

And then you're gonna move on to your conclusion, and again, we want to use the three part structure this time, moving from the specific to the more general.

Really thinking about summarising our main argument, but also finishing with that really impactful closing statement, thinking about how Stevenson's work is so important for us to be studying and reading today.

Why is it such a timeless message? All right, let's double check then.

In your essay, you should try and have a minimum of how many main points.

Is it two, four, or three? Pause the video, have a think, press play when you're ready to continue.

Welcome back.

I would always try and get three points in there.

I think it really helps us show an understanding of the text as a whole if we manage to talk about more than two different ideas.

So if you can get to three, that's fantastic.

Now it is time to think about writing your essay.

Before we start, should we have a quick discussion? What do you think makes a good essay? Pause the video.

If you've got a partner, you can discuss with them.

If you're working by yourself, just think through this question independently.

What do you think makes a really excellent analytical essay? Pause the video over to you, press play when you're ready to continue.

Yes, welcome back, some great discussions there.

I want to really shine a spotlight in some of the great things I heard.

So you might have said things like an introduction and conclusion that use three part structures.

You might have said a really well structured argument using discourse markers to structure your ideas using well selected quotes, okay? We want to use quotes, but only if they are used judiciously.

If they've been well selected, think about which ones support our arguments, think about which ones are really great for analysing.

Because we do want to make sure we're analysing methods, we need to use terminology where it's appropriate, and always link back to the writer's purpose.

Don't just tell me Stevenson uses simile.

Tell me what the impact of that simile has been.

Make sure you include contextual information.

You know lots about the time this text was written, and you know lots about what Stevenson's messages were, and what his kind of the bibliographical contextual information.

You know a little bit about Stevenson's life.

See if you can bring that in and think about how that links to his intentions.

We do want to make sure our essay is well written though.

We want to think about our vocabulary choices.

We want to think about our sentence structures.

We want to make sure we are being clear, succinct, but also sophisticated.

Right, let's do a very quick check for understanding what is missing from that list of success criteria we have just created.

What do you think? Pause the video, press play when you're ready to continue.

Yes, well done, if you said well selected quotes or quotations, we definitely need to be including them, right? It is time for you to write this essay, okay? So I want you to use the planning that you did in both task A and task B to help you.

Here is the question one more time.

How does Stevenson use Jekyll and his creation Hyde to explore ideas around the dual nature of man? Okay, use the following sentence starters to help you if you're struggling to get started.

If your instruction, you can use phrases like Stevenson's gothic novella explores, or X is the epitome of, or through the presentation of.

You know, in your main body paragraph, you might want to say things like Stevenson has done this to reveal, to emphasise, to suggest, more specifically, Stevenson aims to.

And in your conclusion, you can use a phrase like ultimately, thus, in conclusion.

Stevenson successfully or effectively, Stevenson's timeless or universal message.

All right, it's over to you now.

You want to give yourself plenty of time to write your responses.

I know you can do it.

You've got so much knowledge of this text, and now is the time to show me everything that you have learned.

All right, best of luck.

Pause the video and press play when you are ready to continue.

All right, welcome back.

Fantastic work going on there.

It was so great to see you writing with such confidence, and an extra special well done to everyone who paused and read through their work, checking it made sense, and looking for any spelling, punctuation, or grammar errors before they put their pen down.

That was really fantastic to see.

All right, we are gonna do one final check before we finish our essay today.

So I want you to check your work using the success criteria you can see on the screen.

All right, so read through those questions and read through your work, and see if you have included all of them in your essay.

All right, pause the video, have do one final check and reflection, and press play when you're ready to continue.

Really, really fantastic work today.

I am so proud of you writing such a well developed analytical response about the idea of the theme of duality.

On the screen, you can see a summary of everything that we've learned today, the importance of reading the question and picking out key words, the importance of planning key points, helping us create an overarching argument.

How single paragraph outlines can be really useful in creating detailed plans for the main body of our essay.

And of course, how remembering and keeping a success criteria at the front and centre of our mind as we write is really helpful as we write out our essays.

Fantastic work today.

It's been great learning alongside you.

I hope you have a wonderful day at the the rest of your day, and I hope to see you in one of our lessons soon.

Thank you so much for joining me.

Goodbye.
