Surviving Charles Dickens' London- DUE FRIDAY



THIS IS DUE BY FRIDAY!!! 

Dare you take a tour of Dickensian London? You could meet Mr Micawber, Mr Pickwick or Fagin. Or you might catch smallpox and end up in jail. If you do well, you'll get to meet Charles Dickens
Dodge through Victorian London, avoiding the gangs and villains and trials and tribulations of Dickensian London in order to seek out Charles Dickens in his chalet hideaway in Rochester.
You'll face tasks and choices - you might have to pick pockets for Fagin, or rob bodies for Gaffer Hexham. Perform well and you'll be able to wend your way through dark alleyways and winding streets. Make the wrong choice and you could end up in jail, or worse...

You'll need to keep your health up and you'll need to keep your eyes open in order to make money for your fare to Rochester. Be warned; time is short and the streets of London are not for the faint hearted...

To play the game you will need to install Macromedia Flash( if you dont already have). Visit WebWise for more information if necessary.

Task:
1. Play “Surviving Charles Dickens London  http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/multimedia/dickens/
 2. After playing the game and successfully meeting Charles Dickens (you may have to play a few times), 
  • Explain five facts you learned about what life was like for individuals living in Victorian London (the setting of A Christmas Carol ) 
  • List five facts you learned about the life of Charles Dickens
