The teacher gives each pair two opposing readings of duality in The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde: that Hyde is a separate evil, or that Hyde is Jekyll's own self with the mask of respectability removed. Each partner scripts a two-minute case for one reading, then over two lessons the pair records a six-minute episode in GarageBand: opening statements, three quotations read aloud (for example 'man is not truly one, but truly two'), a rebuttal round and a closing verdict they agree on. They add a short music bed from GarageBand's built-in loops and cut retakes on the timeline. Finished episodes go on a class Padlet wall set to school login, and each pair listens to two other episodes and posts which reading they found more convincing and why.
