Firstly, there are three reading comprehension activities, or informational texts, about:

• Christmas Around the World
• Santa Claus
• Ebenezer Scrooge

These activities require NO PREP and have a body of text that students need to read through thoroughly; then they can use the text to find the comprehension and grammar answers. All texts then have an extension activity for those fast finishers. Answers, for teacher use, are on the final page of each document.

Then, there are two biography writing units about Santa Claus and Ebenezer Scrooge, and one informational writing unit about the traditions of Christmas around the world. The units have been split into three or four separate lessons which will take students approximately 40-50 minutes each.

Good luck, I hope you find the resource useful!
