Pre-AP: A Christmas Carol Essay

On Friday, December 17, you will be asked to respond to the following prompt:
Near the end of Stave Three, the Ghost of Christmas Present reveals to Scrooge two “children.” In a well-developed essay explore how Dickens’ choice of (literal) personification helps the reader better understand the overall theme of the book.

To assist you in gathering your thoughts, you may download and fill-in this Graphic Organizer. Remember, students who use the graphic organizer tend to score higher than students who do not. Also, class will be about five minutes shorter than usual, in order to accommodate the volleyball game in the afternoon.

You will be allowed to use the graphic organizer and your copy of the text/notes during the writing period.

Be prepared. Be amazing.
