Diary Entry Writing

Students take on the persona of Ebenezer Scrooge to write a diary entry reflecting his emotions and insights after the Spirits’ visits. They describe his new outlook on life, express gratitude, and promise to treat others differently, citing details from the story. This creative writing task builds empathy, perspective-taking, and literary connection while reinforcing comprehension of the novella’s conclusion. It encourages expressive writing and the application of textual understanding through personal voice.
