A PowerPoint containing carefully selected annotations on the poem, learning outcomes, questions and opportunities for making comparisons to other poems in the Power and Conflict section of the anthology. There is also a 4 page booklet containing a copy of the poem and two sets of comprehension questions.
2 lessons/PowerPoints.
Lesson 1 has carefully selected annotations followed by 13 comprehension questions based on the annotations.
There is also a starter activity involving an 8 minute clip from the film ‘The Not Dead’.
Lesson 2 recaps the first lesson before looking at how to improve grade 3 paragraphs by adding zoom ins and deeper inferences. The final activity asks students to compare the poem to Prelude, War Photographer and Bayonet Charge. To help with this, students are provided with matching quotations and a suggested basic writing frame.
8 questions to encourage students to consider how Dickens’ A Christmas Carol explores abstract and conceptual ideas about the human condition. Useful as a stretch activity.
