A Christmas Carol - The Penitent Spirits
(15-slide PowerPoint-based GCSE lesson with differentiated worksheets)
At the end of Stave One, Scrooge sees into the purgatorial realm that he is currently doomed to enter. This resource enables students to examine how Dickens presents the penitent spirits that Scrooge observes.
It includes:
-
A differentiated starter activity quiz to help revise the main ideas in Stave One
-
Students will then study from, ‘It held its chain up at arm’s length…’ down to the end of chapter, thinking about how Dickens describes the scene outside of Scrooge’s window and its implications for Scrooge himself.
-
After this, pupils will examine an illustration of the scene in question, evaluating the artist’s depiction of the passage they have just read.
The lesson concludes with learners producing a short list of the different things that Scrooge might learn in Staves 2-4.
