A Christmas Carol - Belle’s Family
(PowerPoint and worksheets)
This GCSE lesson explores how Belle’s family is presented in Stave 2. It also allows pupils to reflect on how Scrooge has changed throughout the course of Stave 2. There is a differentiated starter activity which encourages revision of some of the key ideas in Stave 2. Following this, students will read from, ‘”No more!” cried Scrooge’, down to ‘…he sank into a heavy sleep’, thinking about:
-
How the lives of Scrooge and Belle contrast
-
How Dickens presents Belle’s family
-
And how Dickens presents Scrooge’s reaction to this ‘shadow’.
Students will then reflect on the lessons that Scrooge has learnt in Stave Two as a result of the ‘shadows’ presented to him. This activity involves linking characters, ‘lessons’ and quotations and there are two different ways of approaching it, depending on the ability and needs of your class. The lesson concludes with a learning review which asks learners to think of words to describe Scrooge at the beginning, the middle and the end of Stave 2.
