Hello, little humans. Please turn in your Reading Logs to the drop bin up front.
Today’s Learning Targets: -I can recall main events from Act II of the play -I can describe the main characters from the play
*Be prepared for a quiz on Scrooge’s experience with the Ghost of Christmas Present* *Open your notebook to yesterday’s closure. Underneath, make the heading “Ghost of Christmas Present Notes”*

2. The rest of the period…
Read Act II, scene iv until “Present” is gone and is replaced by the “Phantom”
When you are done, begin extending your notes to cover what we read in class today and yesterday
Your notes should focus on how Scrooge affects the other characters in the play (the Cratchits, his nephew and his wife, and the less fortunate people that live in London), secondary character characteristics, how Present is seeking to bring about a change in Scrooge, how Scrooge reacts throughout the whole process, and “Want” and “Ignorance”

3. Questions you want to answer in your notes…Read Act II, scene iv until “Present” is gone and is replaced by the “Phantom”
What does Present sprinkle on people in the streets of London?
Why does Bob Cratchit toast Scrooge? How does his wife react?
How is Bob’s low salary (his pay from Scrooge) negatively affecting his family? Who might die?
What are Scrooge’s words that Present uses against him to help teach him a lesson: “If he be like to die…”?
Why does Fred toast to Scrooge?
Who/What are the children of mankind that Scrooge meets at the end of Present’s visit
