A Tale of Two Cities is the core text for five lessons in a Curriculum Guide for Charles Dickens' famous novel. To begin, scholars examine Dickens' use of anaphora in the first line of the novel. Next, they compare the point of view in a primary source document describing the September Massacre with Dickens' description in Chapter 21. Other lessons ask readers to use evidence from the text to identify the many dualities and contrasts and create a tableau representing critical scenes from the novel.
