A Christmas Carol WebQuest

Introduction

 In 1843, Charles Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol, which depicts the life of Scrooge, a miserly old man who is selfish and greedy with his money. In the beginning of the play, Scrooge is visited by his old business partner, Jacob Marley, who has been dead for 7 years. Marley warns Scrooge that he will be visited by 3 ghosts: The Ghost of Christmas Past, The Ghost of Christmas Present and The Ghost of Christmas Future. Throughout the play, each ghost makes Scrooge aware of the mistakes that he has made and will make in his life. In the end, Scrooge decides to change his dreadful ways and become a kind and generous man. It is now your chance to become directly involved in Dickens’ classic tale!
