1. Each chapter is called a Stave (a long stanza or verse in a song). Look at the title of the novella. Why did Dickens call the chapters staves?

A carol is a song and a stave is a chapter in a song. Since Dickens called the story a carol, he decided to call the chapters staves.

- "when these words are put together to convey a meaning it is known as a sentence. a sentence is a group of words that makes complete sense. placing of words in a sentence is very important. the second sentence is a question."

it translates into:

read the letter of your pen pal. write and answer 3 questions.
