Lesson 2: Webquest
Before we begin to read A Christmas Carol, we must get to know the man behind it all - Charles Dickens. Dickens led a very unique and interesting life and learning about his experience will allow you to get a better understanding of the themes and ideas that are weaved throughout his novel A Christmas Carol, and not to mention all the rest of his novels.
In this Webercise, you will search through various websites to learn all about Charles Dickens' early life, the main characters in the novel, and other random facts pertaining to Dickens. The last activity you must complete is a venn diagram where you will compare two different characters from A Christmas Carol using the information about these characters that is provided on the website listed. This Webercise is due one week from the date it is assigned. Students must work on completing this as homework during that week, except for the venn diagram, which will be a collaborative in-class activity.
