Through examining extracts from Nany Churnin's book, Dear Mr Dickens, students will be empowered to call out stereotyping and make a stand against discrimination. As well as making students more aware of conscious and unconscious bias, students will investigate the social themes Dickens was keen to raise awareness of on an interactive tour around Dickens’ house.
The onsite session price includes a resource pack for use back in the classroom featuring a reading of the Dear Mr Dickens story by Miriam Margolyes, a lesson which further explores the idea of discrimination in the world today, as well as structured letter writing activities for students to complete themselves.
