I . WARM-UP : ACC REV I EW

For today’s warm-up you may use the Building Background on Charles Dickens worksheet, that you completed for home practice, for support. I will collect this “to be graded” assignment after the warm-up.

CAUSE:

EFFECT:

A 12 year old Charles was required to work from sunup to sundown.

Underline once the cause and circle the effect of the following sentence:

In the 19th century if you owed money youwere sent to a debtor's prison.

The article describes how the new term Dickensian was coined because of Dickens’s contributions to society. Dickensian means related to our

belonging to Dickens. Can you think of two words that end with this same suffix –ian? Let me help you a bit: historian!
