Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde: Poems for Two Voices

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

"That man is not truly one, but truly two." The Strange Case of  Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde offers readers a change to craft a poem combining words and phrases from Robert Lewis Stevenson's novella to create a poem for two voices. The resource suggests using poems from Paul Fleischman's Joyful Noise as examples.
