As we study A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, we explore the visits The Ghost of Christmas Present makes AFTER Scrooge sees The Cratchits, including visits to a miner’s family, a lighthouse, a ship and of course nephew Fred’s friends and family. Additionally, we explore the symbols of Ignorance and Want that critique Victorian attitudes towards Christmas. A detailed, engaging and fully differentiated lesson on Stave Three of A Christmas Carol.
