Charles Dickens

Case One - Comparison/Contrast Poster

  1. Learn what everyday life was like for Charles Dickens.
  2. Visit Dickens Home and the Dickens' House Museum in London. ( Both of these links lead to the same house but each covers the information in a different way. See which one you prefer.)
  3. Compare and contrast Dicken's home to yours. For instance, as a visitor you might have noticed the description of Dickens' desk in the study. How are the supplies on his desk different from that which you might have on a desk in your home?
  4. Create a poster that will compare life in the mid 1800's in England of Dickens' life to the late 1990's of your life in Canada.

Choose three areas to compare. You might choose

  • Furniture
  • Entertainment
  • Transportation
  • or any other areas that seem interesting
