3 different A Christmas Carol model responses exploring how Scrooge learns important life lessons across the novella. A similar type of question came up in the AQA May 2024 examination. I included 3 different responses so it can be used to show different ways of approaching the question. One response for example, analyses how each ghost imparts important life lessons to Scrooge. Another response explores how Fred, Fezziwig, Tiny Tim and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come all act as mentors in facilitating Scrooge’s transformation. They have been written to meet the requirements for Band 5 and 6 on the mark scheme because they are consistently thoughtful with moments that could one could argue are perceptive in the way they meet the AOs… They may be useful for departmental moderation or for students considering about different ways of structuring their examination responses.

2 model narratives about a disagreement and 2 model descriptions about a very hot place. They have all been written deliberately to try and meet the AQA assessment objectives.

Ambitious vocabulary is sustained and advanced punctuation is used for effect.
