A 13-page resource.
Provides - Background notes on Charles Dickens
The origins of A Christmas Carol including:
“Dickens dwelt on the terrible sights he had seen among the juvenile population in London's jails and doss-houses and stressed the desperate need for educating the poor. This occasion seems to have put into his mind the idea for a [Christmas Eve tale] which should help to open the hearts of the prosperous and powerful towards the poor and powerless but which should also bring centrally into play the theme of memory that, as we have seen, was always so strongly associated with Christmas for him.”
Includes reading and writing exercises and full book analysis with lined tables for student notes throughout.
