Character guide introduces the characters to students so that they have a fuller understanding of who the characters are, and their role in the story. Character development notes help improve students' understanding of Scrooge's character, and his miraculous transformation. Annotation friendly layout allows students to highlight key quotations, and make marginal notes to allow them to develop their own interpretations as their understanding improves. Annotation tips allow students to identify what they need to be annotating as they read the book such as key themes, writer's methods, character development. Plot summary allows students to recap the story in minutes, and check their understanding as they read through the book. Glossary of subject terminology allows students to develop and improve their subject knowledge. In addition to this, the explanations are clear and simple in student friendly language providing clear examples of where the literary methods are used. The range of subject terminology caters for students of all abilities from Grades 1-9. This enables Grade 9 students to select more advanced literary methods to write about in their essays. Themes such as charity and poverty are identified, and explained clearly, in order to allow students to begin developing their own interpretations. Setting is also explained so that students can understand how it works upon a symbolic level.
