A Christmas Carol - Old Fezziwig (20-slide PowerPoint teaching resource with 6 worksheets) In Stave 2, Dickens introduces his readers to Scrooge’s antithesis as an employer, Old Fezziwig. This GCSE resource enables learners to gain an insight into the scriptural basis for this important character. It includes: A differentiated ‘Do Now’ worksheet task in which learners reflect on the significance of three passages from scripture and how Dickens alludes to them in Stave One. Learners will then read from, ‘The Ghost stopped at a certain warehouse door…’ down to ‘”…That’s all”’, thinking about how Dickens presents the character of Fezziwig and Scrooge’s relationship with him. For greater challenge, learners will also reflect on how Scrooge has failed to live up to the example that Fezziwig set for him. Following on from this, learners will undertake a magazine-style quiz from both Scrooge’s and Fezziwig’s perspective. The quiz is entitled ‘Are you a good, Christian employer?’ and encourages learners to think about how Dickens uses the character of Fezziwig to illustrate that one can be both a capitalist and a Christian.

For further challenge, learners will correct the five false statements and write a list, from memory, of the things they have learnt about the Ghost of Christmas Past. Following on from this, learners will revisit the magazine-style quiz they undertook in the previous lesson and use these ideas to contrast Scrooge and Fezziwig as employers.

A Christmas Carol - Scrooge Vs Fred (15-slide PowerPoint presentation with 4 worksheets) Fred’s nephew is often described as a foil character for Scrooge. This GCSE resource enables students to use the Venn diagram method to compare and contrast the two characters in Stave One of A Christmas Carol. Contents include: A differentiated starter activity, in which pupils work through a series of tasks and questions in pairs to revise what they have discovered about Scrooge so far. After this, learners will read from ‘Once upon a time…’ in Stave One down to ‘…for he returned them cordially’, thinking about what they learn about Fred, Scrooge’s attitude towards his nephew and why Dickens chooses not to reveal Fred’s first name at this stage in the novella. The main activity is for learners to use a Venn diagram and a bank of quotations to compare and contrast Fred and Scrooge. At higher levels, learners will also group the quotations into specific categories and write a comparative paragraph using a pair or set of related quotes as a basis. To conclude, learners will read a definition of a foil character and suggest three ways in which Fred could be considered a foil character for Scrooge. If there is time left over, learners can also attempt an additional challenge task in which they suggests points for and against a statement about Scrooge and Fred. NB.

The next activity is for learners to contemplate the significance of the excerpt from ‘God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen’ and how Dickens adapts it in Stave One.

A Christmas Carol - The Workhouse (16-slide PowerPoint and 10 worksheets) “And the union workhouses?” demanded Scrooge. “Are they still in operation?” In Stave One of ‘A Christmas Carol’, Dickens portrays his protagonist Scrooge as a proponent of the workhouse system. Deliberately designed to be a last resort for the poor and destitute, these austere buildings were described by Richard Oastler as ‘prisons for the poor’. This GCSE resource enables learners to gain an insight into the reality of life for inmates of the workhouses. It includes: A differentiated Do Now / starter activity, in which learners examine an image of a surviving workhouse and reflect on what its function might have been. At higher levels, learners will also consider their own responses to the image and think about why the building might be a tourist attraction today. The main activity is a group task in which learners read a range of sources on the subject of the workhouse and use the information to fill in a findings sheet. The questions on the finding sheet test a range of reading skills including comprehension, inference-making and analysis. After giving feedback, learners will reflect on a controversial statement that encourages them to think about how useful workhouses were as provision for the disadvantaged in Victorian society. This resource not only enriches learners’ understanding of the context of ‘A Christmas Carol’ but also provides an opportunity for learners to practise their reading of 19th Century texts, a requirement of the current English Language GCSE.
