Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

Dear girls,

Hope you are enjoying your holidays!  Have you girls heard of the story, The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde?  This short story by Robert Louis Stevenson is one of my most favourite tales of all time and has a shared theme with Shakespeare's Macbeth.  For the first blog entry of Term Two, I want you to first of all conduct a short research session of Robert Louis Stevenson's story.  You will then need to write and post a short response (150 words min) comparing and contrasting The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde with Macbeth.  In your response be sure to define which theme you think is common in both stories.  Spark notes has a good summary of Stevenson's story!


Cannot wait to hear your responses!
