Trialled resource this week (June 2016) in class. Students initially read through the introduction and the extract and then identified words they were not familiar with, using a dictionary. From here they are re-reading what was to many of them an unfamiliar text and supplementing with the new word definitions. Thus, a completely non-familiar extract becomes more familiar and they write their understanding of this on the 'draft' page, prior to tackling the main question. They then 'compare' their responses to the exemplar answers provided. I have used this with Year 7's and 8's now and really drilled down into the language - around 3-4 lessons for fantastic results.

An eight-page (prints as four page double-sided booklet) resource containing:

- Summary of the novella, including previous/original title(s)
- An overview of the whole story in eight steps
- Single page extract
- Space for a student 'draft' attempt
- Space for the final draft
- Two examples of 'exemplar responses' as a student guide to the level they are aiming for - i.e. a strong response and a top level response

Responding to: Explore how Charles Dickens presents Scrooge’s character in this extract.
