Debate on Change

This persuasive analysis worksheet engages students in evaluating the believability of Scrooge’s transformation in A Christmas Carol. Learners choose a position-whether Scrooge’s change is believable or not-and provide at least three reasons supported by text evidence. The exercise develops skills in argumentation, textual analysis, and evidence-based reasoning. By defending their views, students learn to connect literary interpretation with persuasive writing and oral discussion, enhancing both comprehension and critical debate skills.
