化身博士读后感
阅读是语言和思维交互作用的过程，文学阅读具有发展语言和思维的特殊功能，是培养阅读习惯和增强思维能力的有效途径（黄远振，2014）。原版小说情节精彩、主题多样，具有丰富的思想内涵，相比教材而言更有利于激发学生深层次的思考，提高其人文素养。
本学期，我带领学生一起阅读了《化身博士》（The Strange Case of Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde）。因为初次阅读英文原著，不少学生觉得挑战大。读了两节课后（每周一节），学生反映难以理解书中配备的题目，不能联系整篇故事情节作思考，不太清楚人物关系等。我针对此作了调整，让学生结合我提供的每章小结和文本，思考给出的问题，逐步完成阅读。调整之后，学生的阅读兴趣和信心有了明显的提高。一共用6课时完成了阅读。
阶段任务一：结合原著和各章小结思考问题
1.Summary for” The story of the Door”
Richard Enfield told Mr. Utterson the story. The small and ugly man treated a little girl in a cruel way and paid money for that. He got the cheque from a house and he had the key to the door.
【Questions：Why did Mr. Utterson say he had already known the name of the man who signed the cheque? Who was Hyde? Who signed the cheque for him? Why did Hyde hurt the girl?】
2.Summary for “The search for Hyde”
Mr. Utterson tried to seek for Hyde. Mr.Utterson was worried that his old friend Henry Jekyll would be in the control of an evil man Hyde. Mr.Utterson didn’t hope that Hyde would possess the money and property from Henry Jekyll. So Mr.Utterson wanted to find it out.
【Questions: Who was Hyde? Why did Henry Jekyll plan to give his money and property to such a bad man? We said Hyde was a bad man because he treated a girl in the street badly. In Mr. Utterson’s mind, he thought Hyde was planning to force Dr. Henry Jekyll to sign the will that would give Hyde all of Jelyll’s possessions.】
3.Summary for” Dr. Jekyll was at ease “
We already know Dr. Lanyon, Mr.Utterson and Dr.Jekyll were old friends. So now they were having a dinner party given by Dr. Jekyll. So, Mr. Utterson had the chance to talk to Dr. Jelyll. However, the latter was unwilling to talk about his will and Hyde. He just asked Mr. Utterson to help Hyde get his rights. After Mr. Utterson promised, Dr. Jekyll felt at ease.
【Questions: Why? In my view, Dr. Jekyll had something hidden from his old friends and he wanted his old friend not to continue to search for Hyde any more. This way, Dr. Jekyll would be safer. If you had known the end, you can understand it.】
4.Summary for “The Carew murder case”
Dr. Jekyll’s servant saw the Hyde committed the crime on Carew. Normally, we would think that Hyde had some reason to hurt Carew, for money, for position or for something else? Anyway, Hyde had killed Carew.
【Questions: At the end of the story, we know Hyde killed Carew hardly for any reason. The inspector came to Hyde’s house because he was recognized by Dr. Jekyll’s servant. Hyde had once visited Dr. Jekyll’ house. So far, we think that Mr. Hyde is the criminal.】
5.Summary for “The incident of the letter”
Jekyll received a letter. Actually, the letter was written by himself. However, Utterson’s head clerk was a handwriting expert and he recognized the handwriting of the letter was similar to Jekyll’s.
【As a wise reader, we may conclude that Jekyll and Hyde are likely to be one person.】
6.Summary for “The remarkable incident of Dr. Lanyon”
Dr. Lanyon died and left Mr. Utterson a letter, which was a big surprise to Mr. Utterson.
【Questions: What has caused him to die so soon? Perhaps he couldn’t bear the fact that Jekyll committed the crimes after he turned into Hyde, an evil person.】
7.Summary for “The incident at the window”
Jekyll slammed the window shut suddenly because there was a strange change on his face and he didn’t want it to be found.
【Questions: How is he feeling? Does he really feel successful and happy after he invented the drug?】
8.Summary for “The last night”
The servant Pool found it frightening and asked Mr. Utterson for help. Eventually, they knocked down Jekyll’s door and found that Hyde had died but no sign of Jekyll. Mr.Utterson saw some
letters given to him by Jekyll.
【Questions: Who had killed Hyde?】
9.Summay for “Dr. Lanyon’s narrative”
This was the letter mentioned on Page44 to Mr. Utterson by Lanyon. The letter told people what Lanyon knew about Jekyll- How he turned from Hyde to Jekyll and he realized Jekyll had committed the crimes after he transformed himself into Hyde by using the drug he had invented.
【Ideas: It’s wise of the author to present the letter to the reader in this period. If the letter is given earlier, the story cannot have been so mysterious.】
10.Summary for “Henry Jekyll’s full statement of the case”
Everything was clear. The letter left by Jekyll after his death made everything clear. Jekyll told Untterson the whole truth of the event. After taking the drug, Jekyll turned to Hyde and committed crimes.
【Questions: What kind of person was Jekyll when he was young? Why did he want to invent the drug? What had he suffered? Why had he killed himself? Such questions were answered in the letter.】
原版小说具有丰富的思想内涵，为培养学生的批判性思维能力提供了良好的平台。批判性思维过程是一个提问过程，学生通过不断质疑、提问、考察、证实来提高认识，加深理解（梅学芳，2015）。 教学中经常遇到学生“被提问”的现象，本质上说，教师并未发挥学生的主体作用。因此，本次教学中加入“学生提问”这个环节。在此基础上教师作选择和整理，形成“问题单”。这部分问题不同于章节问题，它们侧重于全篇的理解。
阶段任务二：思考并交流读后问题
1. At the beginning, why did Jekyll want to become Hyde? （张天尧组合）
2. What is Jekyll like? And what is Hyde like? Describe them respectively(分别)based on the story.
3. At the end, why cannot Mr Hyde become Jekyll again? （张天尧组合）
4.每当什么情况时，Jekyll会变成Hyde? 书中有这样例子吗？（陈圆圆组合）
5.当Jekyll知道自己变成Hyde之后做了那么多坏事，他的内心想法是什么？文中有提及他后悔吗？（陈圆圆组合）
6.当Hyde自杀的时候，他的意识是Jekyll吗？不然邪恶的Hyde为什么要自杀呢？（张天尧组合）
7.博士自杀的原因是因为变不回Jekyll的身体原形，而他必须要面对他作为Hyde时犯下的罪。所以他才自杀吗？（张天尧组合）
8.人的双重性格体现在哪里？Jekyll为什么要自杀？是因为Hyde的意识逐步成为主导吗？（季佳杰组合）
9. Do you think man has dual nature? If so, what’s the purpose of the story?
10. Why did Jekyll commit suicide?
11.What happened to his body after he killed himself?
12.What do you think of the end? Do you think the end implies something?
13.What can we learn from the story? What can we do to balance the two sides in our daily life?
14.我们如何看待Doctor Jekyll?
读后写作，有助于促进学生有意义输出，发展学生的总结概括和推理能力，也是学生形成价值判断的重要过程。此外，读后写作一开始让学生有畏惧感，但是通过提供示例、教师的指导，学生表达的信心和兴趣会有所提高。通过写作学生也能增添原著阅读的成就感，把写作和小组展示或公众交流展示、评价结合起来，更有助于激发学生可持续的原著阅读兴趣。
阶段任务三：请完成一篇读后感

The book , The strange Case of Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde talks about the human nature. It begins with a story about Mr Hyde. With the development of the story, you can feel mysteries are fading away and the truth is becoming clearer. After reading it, I was astonished that Dr Hyde and Jekyll are the same person. In the end, Jekyll kills himself for the crimes committed by Hyde. Actually, Hyde is dead but Jekyll is alive. Kindness can defeat bad things. Everyone has two sides. However, the evil can never prevail over good.
唐焱玲
This novel mainly describe a famous and respectable doctor who become an evil man after taking a drug. His name is Dr Jekyll. He makes an magic powder. After taking it he would become a small，ugly and evil man called Mr.Hyde. Then he can do lots of evil things even being a murderer. Though he realizes his mistakes，he cannot resist the temptation.
However, for he takes too much drugs, he becomes Dr. Hyde out of control. This makes him suffer a lot. Eventually, he killed himself with sadness. Of course, Mr. Hyde died, too.
In our lives, we should remember who we are and what we can do or not. Only in this way can we be ourselves and insist on being righteous. I believe that everyone has two characters, but we must oppose evil. Man’s nature is kind, and kindness must prevail over evil finally.

After reading the book “The Strange Case of Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde”, I have two opinions. First, it is important to care about our attitudes. Once it becomes stressed, we should find some interesting things to eliminate it. Secondly, we should not be too concerned about fame and wealth. Dr Jekyll doesn‘t want to give up the achievements he has, he starts his transformation into the evil Mr Hyde, and finally he went to death.
All in all, we should keep a clear mind to face the temptation in life, and always maintain a positive

《化身博士》一书讲述了Jekyll博士使自身的两面分离开来，并塑造了自己Hyde的形象，最终由于无法平衡自己的两个人格而自杀的故事。本书描写了人性的两面，博士没有能够控制自己走向灭亡，启示我们要重视自己人格的养成，并保持好自己良好的心性，保持自然，不能尝试去分离自己的人格。这本书从侧面折射出人类灵魂的两面性，散发人性的光芒！
邢雨霜
本书用Mr Utterson 的角度讲述了Dr Jekyll 拥有双重人格和用药物强制分离出来的故事。可能在世界上每个人都拥有着双重人格，在表面下藏着另一个自己面对世界、社会各种压力，人们善于将自己伪装的无懈可击、面面俱到，实际在内心中藏着一个并不完美和不被认可的一面，那是人们一种不满情绪压抑久了的结果。我们应学会处理好不同的自己，让自己善的一面完全影响恶的一面，寻找适合自己的方法发泄自我，不能像文中的Jekyll为不损害自己的名誉地位，分离出另一个自己危害到社会，自己也饱受折磨。分裂型人格最终会危害社会、也会毁灭自己。

The main theme of the book is the ‘divided self ’ or the ‘dual ’ nature of man . It is centered around the belief that good and evil are present in all of us and explores what could happen if these parts were chemically divided into two separate personalities.
Dr Jekyll is really a poor man .At the beginning, he starts his transformation into the evil Mr Hyde because he is afraid his behavior is inappropriate and he wants to save his reputation. However he doesn’t realize he will become an evil and die.
Fortunately, Dr Jekyll has a loyal friend, Mr Utterson. He is a determined, serious and wise person. He is my favorite character in the book .

人的欲望是人性的本根。而社会便是规范人性的尺度。每个人在这个社会都为了努力活成别人眼中的样子而将自己的欲望深埋在心底。岁月的不断流逝，这份欲望在心间膨胀，终有一天会爆发出来。
Jekyll博士为了塑造自己在别人眼中的良好形象，压制了自己的全部欲望。在屡次变成Hyde做坏事后不知悔改。人的天性之一就是不会接受别人的批评，总认为自己是对的，为自己找各种各样的借口来辩护。Jekyll博士在自己好友的劝说下不知悔改酿成大祸。成为别人眼中备受尊敬的人固然重要。然而人非圣贤，孰能无过。适当的放松不是骄纵。让人性回归，能使自己活的更加潇洒，更加自由。
顾玲丽
Stevenson著有的《化身博士》讲述了一位拥有两个极端人格，Jekyll的悲剧人生。书中没有提到Jekyll的快乐生活，相反Jekyll还一度羡慕过Hyde，想要以Hyde生活。这在一定程度上表达了人不能只注重荣誉的目的，并且过度的压抑会令人崩溃，就像是Jekyll产生的变态的心理和人格分裂。我认为Jekyll并不是一个至善的人。可能就是因为Jekyll内心最深处的黑暗Hyde诞生了。这种极端的方式发生应征了小说的主题“人性罪恶潜能”这一主题。故事的剧情发展源于 Stevenson对人性的见解。他厌恶虚伪，这注定了Jakyll的悲剧人。
文中的Jakyll为了不使人知道自己就是胡作非为的Hyde,研制了药改变了容貌。我不由觉得这本小说不仅仅是一个天方夜谭，他还可能从客观上反映了那个时代的风气，抨击了社会上的肮脏。这本书也告诉人们要追求正当私欲，解放了人们的思想。
总的来说这是一本值得来回阅读的书，每一次的品读都会带来更深入的思考。

In our daily life, we shouldn’t do something against the laws or principles. We need to avoid enjoying life the whole day. It’s necessary for a person to work hard and learn to control oneself.
教学反思
虽然阅读时一项学生自主的学习活动，关乎学生主观体验，但在成功的课外阅读活动中，教师扮演着不可或缺的角色（Day&Bamfold,1998）。文学作品是语言的精华，是具有美学价值的作品，有助于提高阅读者的语言能力和理解能力，启迪创新精神、意识和灵感，完美人格品质（罗益民，2004）。本次教学体验感觉有些收获，至少在探索教学实际中遇到的问题，并及时调整方面做了改进，如小结助读，问题伴读，学生提问，互动交流，读写结合，佳作欣赏等做法，能较好地调动学生原著阅读的兴趣。但还存在以下问题：
如何把原著阅读的时间彻底保证下来，不被冲突？事实证明，只有课堂上提供时间让学生阅读，学生才能定神读下去，因为课后学生要应对各门学科的习题。我给自己定下一条规则：不占用每周一节的原著阅读课。
如何把读前、读中和读后的活动系统地安排妥当？读完一本书持续时间长，会遇到不少变数，应对变数需要准备在先。
读书的方式和分享交流活动由多种多样，如何找到经济有效、又能激发主动性，还能有助于培养学生阅读兴趣和思辨能力，促进学生有质量输出的活动？ 这一点需要更多的研究、实践和取舍。
