Text

Read, discuss, highlight, and annotate…
- Highlights should be short, precise and focussed on key words and phrases.
- Annotations should be colour-coded and carefully written to aid future revision.

Respond concisely…
- Summarise all the main events and character developments.
Mr. Utterson is sitting by his fireside one evening after dinner when he receives an unexpected visit from Poole, Dr. Jekyll's butler.
Mr. Utterson notices that Poole looks distressed and immediately inquires about what is troubling him, asking if Dr. Jekyll is unwell.
Poole responds that there is something wrong, stating that Dr. Jekyll has shut himself up in his cabinet again and that he is deeply worried.
Mr. Utterson offers Poole a glass of wine and encourages him to explain his concerns more clearly.
Poole admits that he has been afraid for about a week and cannot endure the situation any longer.
Mr. Utterson observes Poole's altered manner, noting that he looks deeply anxious and refuses to meet his gaze, leaving the wine untouched.
When pressed further, Poole reveals that he believes there has been foul play but does not elaborate on what he means.
Alarmed and frustrated, Mr. Utterson questions Poole for clarification, but Poole refuses to provide specifics, instead urging Mr. Utterson to come with him and see for himself.
Mr. Utterson agrees, putting on his hat and great-coat, and notes the visible relief on Poole's face as they prepare to leave.

Respond in one carefully composed sentence…
- Ensure the question is implied in the answer.
Example:
- Question: Who wrote the novella?
- Answer: The Strange Case Of Dr Jekyll And Mr Hyde was written by Robert Louis Stevenson in 1886.

Respond verbally or in one carefully constructed paragraph…
- Select the most significant or revealing quotation(s) from the provided text.
- Quotations should be embedded into your own writing and should probably not be used in their entirety.
Example:
- Stevenson's assertion that Mr Utterson "enjoyed the theatre, but had not crossed the doors of one for twenty years" suggests both self-control and, perhaps, unnecessary self-denial — a man who is a martyr to his perceived ideas of propriety.

Respond convincingly and at length...
- Answers should be more than one paragraph and contain more than one quotation.
- Quotations should be embedded into your own writing and should probably not be used in their entirety.
