This 29 slide powerpoint is the perfect accompaniment to the drama, "A Christmas Carol", by Charles Dickens. It focuses on the elements of drama (with definitions and a stage directions chart), biographical information on Charles Dickens, the protagonist and antagonist, and detailed background and plot information. It includes a comparison to the Grinch, a complete set of vocabulary words with definitions and pictures for each, a description of each ghost, and movie examples. It also includes lyrics to a companion song, a link to an animated version, and just for fun, an ultra-condensed version of the drama. I also have 3 companion worksheets with comprehension questions for each scene. You can buy these at http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/A-Christmas-Carol-Unit-Questions

This will be great before I take my 6th graders to see ACC at the theater center. Love it!

The mp3 file won't open, which was disappointing, but everything else is a great resource for my 7th grade classroom.

I am in my 21st year of teaching, and still love every day! Being around kids keeps me young.
