Strategy NoteMaking Inferences

As the story begins, Enfield is on a London street. Then in paragraph 4, he is talking with Utterson at a later time, I can infer that the setting of the story has changed, perhaps to Utterson’s home.

Strategy NoteVisualize

In paragraph 4, Enfield says Mr. Hyde’s face “embodied evil at its very purest.” That description helps me better imagine the anger and cruelty that Enfield must have seen in Mr. Hyde’s expression.

Strategic Reading:Story Elements(Paired Worked)

Setting – Where does the scene that Enfield watches take place?Character – What does Enfield say about the man’s appearance? Give two details.Plot – What events show a connection between Mr. Hyde and a well known doctor?Theme – The theme of this story is: “Everyone is capable of both good and bad,” Find a line of dialogue on page 61 that supports this theme.

Answers

Enfield sees Mr. Hyde attack the young girl on a quiet block in London.Enfield said the man had no unusual features, and that his face was evil at its purest. Even though his features seem normal, he somehow looks like a monster.Mr. Hyde wrote a check immediately, and it had Dr. Jekyll’s name on it.The theme of this story is “Everyone is capable of both good and bad.” Utterson says, “There is goodness in even the worst of people” and the event that supports that opinion is that Hyde gives money to the parents of the girl he attacked.

Strategy NotePredict

When Enfield says Hyde’s name, Utterson feels a chill spread through his body. He also knows the doctor’s name that Hyde used on the check. What do you think Utterson knows about the relationship between Mr. Hyde and the doctor?

Decoding/Syllabication:

-le, -al, and –el all stand for the same sound of the word giggle.The letter pairs –le, -al, or –el appear after a consonant at the end of a word, the consonant plus the letters can form the final syllable of the word. In giggle, the letters –le follow the consonant g. The last syllable in giggle is –gle. Say giggle, stressing each syllable (gig-gle).Say the following words: scandal; puddle; tunnel; mumble; signal; channel

Decoding/SyllabicationConsonant –le, -al, -el

Read – I know that –al and the consonant that comes before it form the last syllable in scandal: -dal. This leaves s-c-a-n, which is pronounced /scan/. When I put the two syllables together, I get scandal.Repeat the word tunnel, using syllabication strategies to read the word.
