Description
This A Christmas Carol Unit Plan is a great way to keep your middle school students engaged in learning activities during the Holiday Season. This PDF resource is complete with detailed lesson plans for each Stave of Charles Dickens' holiday tale, including before, during and after reading activities. Students will analyze characters, setting, theme, and more as they enjoy this classic story! These resources work well with the novella and various dramatized play versions of the story.
Best of all, very little preparation is required! Simply print and Go! Keep your students learning AND make your own life a little easier during the busy season.
As a bonus, a highly visual Slides presentation is included to help students build their understanding and background knowledge of life in London in the 1800s and the events that inspired Charles Dickens to write the story. An excellent study of literature, aligned with Common Core, that will help maintain rigor and the students' interest in the few weeks leading to the winter break.
