Charles Dickens is a wonderful writer and I'd be surprised if you don't find his books interesting. This story is about a Mr. Ebenezer Scrooge, a very rude man, who has greedy and stingy ways (which he even continues on Christmas). He rejects a Christmas dinner invitation from his nephew and always yells at his employee. Then he gets a lesson taught to him in a wonderful way that he never repeats his mistakes again. You MUST READ this fantastic classic.

By reflecting on what they've read, students develop new ideas and link these ideas to their lives. To facilitate this process, we offer reproducible Prestwick Response Journals in the tradition of the response-centered teaching movement. Each Journal offers prompts for every chapter in the book encouraging students to relate their life experiences with those of the characters within the book. Your students will get more out of their literature when they feel personally involved. Makes a great warm-up activity.

My favorite part of the story is when the three ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future appeared in his house. Mr. Scrooge was very scared. The three ghosts hunted Mr. Scrooge but they also teach him what Christmas really is and for him not to be such a mean and grumpy old man. Ebenezer scrooge only has a few days to understand what Christmas really is before times runs out. I enjoyed this book because it tells the meaning of Christmas. Also it teaches people a lesson that you shouldn’t be all mean and grouchy just because you don’t like Christmas. I really like this book very much. I love Charles Dickens's work
