We love Christmas movies in my house. Well, let me rephrase that. My daughter and I love Christmas movies, and my guys humor us. One of my favorites is A Christmas Carol. We watch several different movie versions throughout the holiday season.
However, I have to admit that I hadn’t red the book until last year. It was our Christmas read-aloud. Actually, we listened to the audiobook version on our way to and from Nutcracker rehearsals for a few weeks.
A Christmas Carol Unit Study {Scrooge}
There are so many versions of A Christmas Carol that it should be fairly easy to find one to meet your reader’s needs should you decide to read it, as well.
After we listened to the book in its entirety, we watched the Jim Carey version of the movie. It’s my current favorite. Afterwards, we did a compare and contrast activity comparing the book with the movie. As always, when we compare a book with the movie, it led to some lively conversations about the things that were different in the movie than in the book.
In addition, I had my daughter complete several of the pages from this A Christmas Carol unit study that I created. Scroll down to download your copy of the printables.
