This is a fast-moving question/answer activity on context within ‘A Christmas Carol’. The powerpoint can be used very effectively in class with students jotting answers on their mini whiteboards.
The powerpoint covers various useful contextual information such as Dickens’ childhood, Victorian attitudes to the poor and Gothic influences. There are lots of links to the novella through using quotations and three opportunities for students to write a really good paragraph pulling together ideas, language, historical context and authorial intentions.
It’s pretty long so I have used bits of it over 4 separate revision lessons.
My students found these really helpful- I hope yours do too!
