A Christmas Carol - Charles Dickens analysing the cratchits full lesson

A full lesson including powerpoint, learning objectives, success criteria and resources. A fun and engaging way of exploring the cratchits in A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. The lesson starts with a 'Christmas Carol Crossword' where they need to identify and recall the family members' names, before moving on to extract analysis. The first extract is modelled already on the powerpoint, but this can easily be removed and embedded timers are on the slides already. Think, Pair, Share opportunities are in the lesson too, with students needing to match up the quote to the description of how Bob Cratchit feels (slide 6 and 7-this will need printing). I have taught this lesson to three different classes and all classes have showed rapid progress and a real engagement in the lesson.
