This novel study on Charles Dickens's classic novel, A Christmas Carol, includes a variety of activities including a list of brief activities to complete, a biography, excerpts from each stave or chapter on each ghost, a character study, and internet - based enrichment. The enrichment activities are from the excellent SCORE site, located in California, which has many novel based enrichment units. I have found that this novel lends itself to the teacher reading the story aloud while the students read along. Feel free to direct any questions or comments should be directed to Dave Dixon.
