A Christmas Carol - The Cratchits (Lesson 5)

A Christmas Carol - The Cratchits (Part 5)

(17-slide editable PowerPoint teaching resource with 6 worksheets)

This is the final lesson in the five part series that looks at Dickens’ presentation of the Cratchit family in Stave Three. Please note that it focuses on the following passage:

From: ‘”Mr Scrooge!” said Bob. “I’ll give you the founder of the feast!”’

Down to: ‘…especially on Tiny Tim, until the last.’

The lesson begins with a differentiated Do Now activity which encourages revision and retrieval of ideas from the novella so far. Learners will then read the passage indicated above and transform the events of the passage into three images. Following on from this, learners will then analyse Dickens’ presentation of the Cratchits by responding to prompts on a passage-based worksheet. Suggested ideas are included on the PowerPoint. The lesson concludes with a quick review that asks learners to map their learning journey in relation to the Cratchits.
