- 1. The character of Dr Roylott Starter Look at these images. What is Sherlock doing? Discuss with your partner.
- 2. With a partner, write down a list of adjectives which could describe the character of Dr Roylott. E.g. strong, powerful…
- 3. What does this quote tell us about Dr Roylott? He shut himself up in the house, and refused to have anything to do with the neighbours and old friends of the family.
- 4. What is good about this paragraph? What can be improved? Discuss in pairs. Dr Roylott is a scary character. We know this because his stepdaughter Helen Stoner is scared of him. She says that he “hurled the local blacksmith over a parapet into the stream”. This shows that Dr Roylott is a scary character. Glossary: Blacksmith– someone who creates objects from iron/steel Parapet– a low wall at the edge of a platform, roof, or bridge.

Editor's Notes
- Tell pupils that they will be using the same skills as Sherlock Holmes to analyse Dr Roylott’s character.
- Tell pupils that they will be using these adjectives later on when writing up their own paragraphs.
- Ask pupils to explode quote together as a class. Write ideas down on the board. Then give pupils the quotation handout so they can annotate it. Quote at the bottom of pg. 168
- Get pupils to discuss this paragraph and decide what is good/can be improved. When they feedback their ideas, write them on the board and then tell them that this is the success criteria which they have created for themselves. Using this success criteria they can then begin their own PEA paragraphs– remind the pupils of the adjectives on the board.
