A 45 slide lesson that teaches students how to identify and comment on the effect of semantic fields in the short extract that is used for AQA Paper 1 Question 2 and Paper 2 Question 3.

Commenting on a semantic field allows students to make a more sophisticated comment about the effect of language than merely commenting on individual words in isolation.

I have abridged the whole novella of A Christmas Carol into 28 very short extracts to help struggling readers to access the text on one A3 sheet. I have had to use font size 8 to fit it all onto one sheet. For students who require a larger font, I also have included a second version in font size 12 and comic sans. Each extract comes with a question to check for understanding.

A revision worksheet of the moral lessons and big ideas in A Christmas Carol. Students fill in each box explaining how each moral lesson is conveyed in the novella. They are encouraged to make textual references. They then should compare their answers to the model answers and make the necessary adjustments and improvements to their work. Ideal for a one hour revision lesson or an intervention session.

This resource contains high level analysis of what I consider to be the 10 most important words to zoom in on in the novella. Zooming in to these 10 words will also pave the way for zooming out to explore Dickens’ authorial message for various themes such as poverty, family, redemption. Through analysing these 10 key words in detail it can negate the need to memorise a list of longer quotations. This can be a revision resource or a lesson. For the lesson, give students the blank template and ask them to think about why each word is vital in communicating Dickens’ authorial purpose. For the second part of the lesson, go over the high level sample answers.
