Collaborative project on "Strange case of dr Jekyll and mr Hyde"

Last November, the students of 4th eso went to the theatre to see a play based on Robert L. Stevenson's classic. Afterwards, they did some research in order to deal with different aspects of the novella in detail. Here's a selection of their presentations. 

1. The author and his works - by  Alba Ruiz, Claudia Peguero, Alèxia Simò
2. The characters - by Alba Martínez, Else Zahions and Kimberly Conrado.
3. Film adaptations - by Maria Souto, Núria Urban and Claudia Chinchilla.
