Relevant Quotations Intervention

After an ‘A Christmas Carol’ exam, I realised my year 10s were including any quotations they could remember and trying to squeeze them into their answers rather than selecting the most relevant moments/phrases from the novella. I created this match-up activity for the themes and quotations in ‘A Christmas Carol’. This can be completed quickly by writing the beginning letter of each theme into the quotation box or they can colour code them. I chose colour coding so that it can become a useful revision resource. This can be adapted to add more quotations or this can be done by the students as an extension task. I also extended this task by asking the students what Stave it is from and getting them to explain why this quotation is significant to the theme.
