LQ: How do we tackle the character question? The starting point is the QUESTION: (a)From the extract, what do you discover about the character of Utterson? Use evidence from the extract to support your answer. 8 marks Underline the KEYWORDS. What are we being asked to do here?

LQ: How do we tackle the character question? Carefully read the extract As you’re reading, UNDERLINE anything that shows or tells you something about what Utterson is like as a character Make annotations if you can as you underline about what you LEARN about Utterson’s character from the relevant language in the extract

LQ: How do we tackle the character question? Tips: aim to write around 5 PEE points/paragraphs in your answer PEE means: P = you make a point/say WHAT you discover E = Give the evidence/quote to prove what you discover E = Explain HOW what you discover is shown/suggested in the quote

Swap books and peer mark according to the mark schemes on the next slides! Remember, to get a ‘C’, you need at least FOUR PEE paragraphs on Utterson.

LQ: How do we tackle the character question? Utterson is straightforward/confident – ‘what I heard was abominable’ He is upset/disturbed by Hyde’s involvement with Jekyll Utterson is caring/sympathetic towards Jekyll - ‘I am a man to be trusted’ Utterson is trustworthy and can keep secrets/not a gossip Utterson can’t believe that Jekyll’s problem could be as bad as it is – ‘I make no doubt I can get you out of it’ Utterson is confident in HIS ability to SOLVE the problem Utterson is reflective and takes his time to make decisions – ‘Utterson reflected a little’ Utterson does not completely believe/trust Jekyll’s statements about having control over the situation with Hyde ANY OTHER VALID POINTS
