Full Scheme of Work (SOW). Charles Dickens. A Christmas Carol.

Series of 26 extensive lessons covering A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. Includes worksheets, hand-outs, quotes sheets, reading and writing tasks, PEEDL tasks, S&L drama activities, and a homework project that covers the whole term. Can be used for a top or bottom set (I have both and planned it as such) as there are lots of differentiated resources. Can also be used as an access into the text at GCSE as addresses the new grades system. Comes with an end of term assessment on ‘Moral significance’, but this SOW can also be used to explore Scrooge’s characterisation.
