A Christmas Carol Read Aloud

We will be reading an abridged version of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens.  This will be read by our class as a play.


Charles Dickens was a famous British author from the 1930s.  He wrote many pieces of influential literature.  A Christmas Carol was a novella written and published in England in 1843.  It had an enormous impact.  It was originally designed to be read aloud in about 3 hours.  I encourage anyone who wants a challenging read to tackle his original version.  Happy Holidays!

If we have time in class, we may try out this writing assignment.  I encourage you to try it over the break if we don't have time.

  1. Have you ever heard of the play and book "The Latke Who Couldn't Stop Screaming"? It was a very good book. We saw it in my new language arts class. - Alexandra
