Dickens became famous writing stories that highlighted the difference between right and wrong in his own time. His stories invite us to form an opinion and make decisions about a character's right or wrong actions. This practice enables the reader to more naturally make a moral judgment in his/her own daily life.

As only an artist could, Dickens paints a moral picture of life. To paint the moral for children is more effective than to "point" it. Here lies the help our children need to develop a "moral imagination."



The first semester students will be immersed in the world of Dickens', "A Christmas Carol." They will extend their vocabulary as they read and discuss the story in its original form--a story that is typically "simplified" for children.  They will look at the social conditions of children in Victorian England and prepare for a Christmas theater production of the work!
