Description

Class Experience

This class will consist of 6 sessions:
**Session 1:  Introduction, some vocabulary, and read aloud the first page of the original version.  Compare it to the first part of the abridged version.  Read and discuss the first half of Stave 1.  We will begin a Google Document keeping track of  characters, vocabulary and Scrooge's transformation from a greedy grouch to a benefactor.  (Students only view and verbally contribute to the document.)
**Session 2:  Read aloud and discuss the second half...

This class is taught in English.

Students will learn to compare and contrast a historical story with today's video versions of the story.  We will also cover some interesting vocabulary, such as different words the author uses for ghost.

Before the last class, the student will need to view a video of the story to contrast and discuss with the book.

A video/TV version of the story - of the learner's choice.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Informal Assessment

1 hour 10 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
