1. Why is this man looking grumpy
Why is this man looking grumpy? Get inside his head and think of possible reasons for his looking grumpy.
Is it because of something that happened in the past? Maybe he’s unhappy due to something which might be occurring at the moment? Or perhaps he is this way because he’s considering something that might happen?

2. It is actually Christmas Eve
It is actually Christmas Eve. What particular reasons might he have for looking sad on Christmas Eve?

3. “He carried his low temperature always about with him.”
How does the quote above add
to your understanding of the grumpy looking man?

4. I have endeavoured in this Ghostly little book, to raise the Ghost of an Idea, which shall not put my readers out of humour with themselves, with each other, with the season, or with me. May it haunt their house pleasantly, and no one wish to lay it.
Their faithful Friend and Servant, C.D.
December 1843.

5. Your task is to create a ghost to haunt a particular type of person
Your task is to create a ghost to haunt a particular type of person. You may do this in one of three ways:
(1) using emblems,
(2) through bullet points or
(3) by drawing a picture of your ghostly figure.
An emblem is a sign, design, or figure that identifies or represents something.

6. You might choose to create a ghost to haunt someone who is mean.
For example:
You might choose to create a ghost
to haunt someone who is mean.
Emblems
Heavy chains with cash boxes, keys, padlocks, and heavy purses made of steel attached.
These items show that this ghost was mean with his money. He is weighted down with emblems of the money he took from other. He is wrapped up in chains to show he can’t escape his past crimes.

7. - the colours in the images
Look at the three images of ghosts. These are the ghosts of the past, present, and future that appear in ‘A Christmas Carol’.
Look carefully at the details in the images and try to identify which ghost represents: the past, the present, the future. Think carefully about your choices and be able to justify your thinking.
Points you may consider:
- the clothes they’re wearing
- the colours in the images
- the age the ghosts look
