Part 1: Transmedia Poster The first part of this assignment is the transmedia poster. This is where the three QR codes will be displayed. This poster can be a traditional poster with relevant text and images OR it can take the

place of a relevant sculpture.

When deciding if images, text, or sculpture are relevant ask yourself, how does this relate to A Christmas Carol? What am I telling by adding

this?

An example of this project is below. The student chose to construct a basketball hoop to hang their

QR codes off because the book they read was about basketball.

Part 2: Five Paragraph Essay For the second part of your project you will be

writing a 5 paragraph essay. Choose one of the following prompts:

1. How would A Christmas Carol be different if Dickens did not use symbolism as a literary strategy? Identify the three most important symbols in the story and explain their importance.

2. Each ghost marks an important step in Scrooge’s journey towards being a better person. Explain.

3. Explain how A Christmas Carol shows us there are many types of poverty.

4. Who do you think the narrator is and why? Does the story change if the narrator is removed?

Your essay must be 5 paragraphs (Introduction, Body, Body, Body, Conclusion). Your essay must answer the question with the

use of textual evidence.

Please use the outline provided and have it checked by Mr. Hysell or Miss. Savidge before

create anything you want as long as it summarizes the entire story.
