Meet Mr. Dickens
In the long story that is English literature there is no one quite like Charles Dickens, and his appeal to readers remains as strong today as it was in the mid-1800s. This two-part program traces the life of Dickens from his birth in Portsmouth to his death at Gad’s Hill, and examines such major novels as Oliver Twist, Great Expectations, David Copperfield, and Bleak House. The DVD includes a printable teacher guide. 34 minutes. Grades 6-12.
