A Christmas Carol revision/workbook tasks

This ‘A Christmas Carol’ revision workbook is a 28 page booklet that uses small extracts from the text and questions to allow pupils to develop their understanding of the text and begin to form analytical responses. There are 5/6 pages of work for each stave.

The first page of the booklet is a modelled response to develop high expectations for the work and the rest of the booklet has questions… please see preview for the first few pages of work from the booklet- a clear example of what to expect.

Instructions for pupils: work through this booklet for the first 15 minutes of every English lesson (could also be used for homework or revision lessons). The booklet is designed to help you:

• Remember the events and key quotes of A Christmas Carol
• Develop your analysis of and response to the novel-meaning your ability to explain what quotes suggest about characters, why a character/place/event is important in the story etc.
• Consider context-Victorian life in 1843, and Dickens’ inspirations and intentions in writing the novel.
