The story follows the journey of miserly Ebenezer Scrooge, who despises the joy and warmth of Christmas. On Christmas Eve, he is visited by the ghost of his former business partner, Jacob Marley, who warns him of the consequences of his selfishness. Throughout the night, Scrooge is visited by three spirits: the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come. These spirits show him his past, present, and future, revealing the impact of his actions on others. The experiences lead Scrooge to transform into a kinder, more generous person who rediscovers the true meaning of Christmas: love, compassion, and the importance of helping others.

All year long we study the grade 7 social studies outcomes and explore the relationships between Canada and other Pacific Rim countries. We also spend a significant amount of time on proper paragraph and essay structure in expository writing. There is no greater motivation for the kids than this folk fest project we complete at the end of the year. They work collaboratively with a partner to research, ask questions, and explore the culture of a Pacific Rim country they choose. They must complete the outline, cite their sources, and hand in an essay portion as a partnership. Next, the real fun begins. Exploring the extras is a favourite time because it involves pictures, videos, artifacts, and food! Amazingly, my students have had the privilege of being the 1:1 classroom this year and will be able to incorporate technology in their presentations. We learned how to use several programs like Prezi, Zondle, and One True Media that they can use to add creativity and excitement to their folk fest display. The culmination of their hard work is a full morning where parents and classes alike can walk through and learn from the students about Pacific Rim countries. Once they have finished teaching others, all of the delicious food artifacts are shared in a potluck where we can debrief the morning.
