A Christmas Carol Annotated Extracts

A Christmas Carol annotated extracts. These worksheets are designed to help GCSE English Literature students practise extract analysis/annotation in preparation for analysing a specific extract in the exam. There are differentiated resources per extract depending on pupils’ ability and the learning intention of the lesson. Each extract has a specific question attached to it. The duration of the worksheet will depend on the learning intention of the lesson, but would take approximately 15-25 minutes to annotate and go through as a class as a revision activity.

There are three versions of each sheet:

1. blank extract and the question for use as an individual assessment
2. differentiated highlighted version to guide less confident students towards important quotations
3. highlighted and annotated version as a teacher guide, a good example of annotation to display to pupils/for self-assessment, or a revision handout to give to pupils

There are five annotated extracts, each one from a highly significant event in the plot:

1. Stave 1 - first description of Scrooge
2. Stave 2 - when he tries to extinguish the light from the Ghost of Christmas Present
3. Stave 3 - Ignorance & Want
4. Stave 4 - the graveyard scene
5. Stave 5 - description of Scrooge
