Description

This vocabulary study for A Christmas Carol provides word lists, definitions, dictionary skills, as well as worksheets with usage and context practice.

The goal of this product is to give students and teachers a resource that will demystify at least some of the difficult vocabulary and apply it to modern usage.

A Christmas Carol Vocabulary Study includes:

• First, an alphabetized list of the 135 words chosen for study with page numbers.
• Next, stave-by-stave word lists, in book order, with text-applicable definitions as well as their page locations.
• Dictionary Digs:  This series of 6 two-page printables requires the interpretive use of a dictionary.  The questions bring the 135 words into modern context. Use these pages before reading to familiarize students with story vocabulary.
• Words in Context:  These pages take students back into the text, stave by stave, where they must place the correct word in a story fact, a story quote, or a combination of the two.
• Application:  These three activities apply Dickens’s vocabulary to modern meanings as well as usage.

Full answer keys included.
