A Christmas Carol – Tiny Tim
(14-slide editable teaching resource with three worksheets)
This GCSE lesson begins with a starter activity that encourages students to reflect on some of Stave Three’s underlying moral issues.

The central activity is for students to make a mind map which explores the function of Tiny Tim in A Christmas Carol. This will involve selecting and applying relevant information from an ideas and context sheet. The lesson concludes with a quick review that asks learners to identify five things that they have learnt in the lesson.

The lesson concludes with a brief review in which learners consider the extent to which they agree with three statements relating to the churchyard in which Scrooge is buried.
Suggested answers are provided for all tasks.

(24-slide PowerPoint and 10 worksheets)
Malthus’ theory of population growth is an important consideration in ‘A Christmas Carol’, but who was Malthus and why was Dickens disgusted by his ideas?

The main activity is for learners to use a table of simplified data to draw their own graph demonstrating Malthus’ theory. Teachers should select the higher, middle, or lower version of this or use a mix of all three, depending on the range of abilities within their group.
After this, learners reflect on the implications of the adjective surplus. This tasks also includes higher-level questions to stretch more able learners.
