A Christmas Carol Unit - Reader's Theater, Vocabulary, Centers, and more
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens is one of my favorite stories for the holiday season! This 90-page Christmas holiday unit includes a 10-page Reader's Theater adaptation that I wrote to use in my 3rd grade classroom. It is followed by other engaging and academically rigorous activities, including several graphic organizers that are not story-specific, so they can be re-used in the future.
