In this lesson students read an extract from 'A Christmas Carol' by Charles Dickens and examine the characters in the text. They then discuss the theme of festivals as preparation for a writing task on the same topic. The lesson is suitable for teen and adult students at B2 level.

Rhyming blockbusters is a game to practise the vowel and diphthong sounds of the English sound system and the various ways in which these sounds are spelt. This is done through asking learners to identify words that rhyme, a challenging exercise for low levels, especially if the words are homophones (same sounds but different spelling). There is also a blank grid so you can adapt the game to your own learning aims.
