Easy introduction to the Victorian Era and Dickens and his life (AO3 GCSE) - for use with Key Stage 3 or lower ability Key Stage 4.

Group work and memory games are used to introduce the large amount of change and invention which occurred during the Victorian Era with a focus on the lives of the poor and how this may have affected Dickens' writing. Resource also introduces students to other Dickensian characters and novels using visual imagery. I also use a clip from the recent 'Christmas Carol' Disney film, but cannot find that on YouTube to insert into the PowerPoint.

Also includes abridged extracts from original text with space for analysis. Lesson concludes with writing in the style of Dickens and creating a character; could be stretched over two lessons to avoid rushing, or set for homework.

This ppt is quite useful, but I have had to insert a number of activities - T/F, gap fill, prompts for the picture descriptions. I do like the pictures and the slides where they look at items from then and now. It's disappointing that the youtube link (not the one you mention, it's the one about Victorian life) doesn't work. Has it been blocked for some reason, so there are no youtube clips. On the whole, I can use this, but I think it's a bit on the expensive side.
