This resource contains high level analysis of what I consider to be the 10 most important words to zoom in on in the novella. Zooming in to these 10 words will also pave the way for zooming out to explore Dickens’ authorial message for various themes such as poverty, family, redemption. Through analysing these 10 key words in detail it can negate the need to memorise a list of longer quotations. This can be a revision resource or a lesson. For the lesson, give students the blank template and ask them to think about why each word is vital in communicating Dickens’ authorial purpose. For the second part of the lesson, go over the high level sample answers.
