Me and My Shadow
We
have all experienced struggling to do the right thing. One part of us
knows what we should do and wants to do right, while another part wants
to do the opposite. Often it seems easier to be bad (or just lazy) than
to be good. How can we resolve this internal conflict?
Lesson Plan
Ask
students to reread “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” (excerpt) in their student
books. Mention that this is a very imaginative literary representation
of what we all feel inside: that we have a good nature and a bad
nature—“Me and My Shadow”—and that they are opposed to one another.
Now
ask students to imagine that they have Dr. Jekyll’s potion, only that
it has the power to bring out their good side alone. Ask them to think
about how they would act, addressing real situations of conflict in
their lives, once they have drunk this “good nature” potion. Encourage
them to try to act that way.
