following the footsteps of charles dickens

hello everyone!
i really need your help today (once again...): next school, my colleagues and I are planning to go to england (as we do every year) and our theme would be charles dickens. Has anyone got any ideas of where to go in england and what to do there and in class? ( we would stay 5 days and the kids would be 13 to 14 years old) I am thinking about books, stories, films but i can �t find anything that would be easy enough for our students.
thank you for your help!!

Hi!
Here is some more information and ideas.
You can look through the following sites about Dickens House Museum to get some facts (location, working hours, tickets cost, exhibition, etc.)

You can organize a course of short lectures on Dickens, his life and works made up on the materials you will find following the given links or ask your students to prepare short reports on the topics suggested by you.
You can arrange a project work for students �Dickens and London� before going to England so that they find out more about the author, his works and the memorable places in London.
You can also suggest your student reading different books by Dickens (it is better to find adapted and abridged ones) and each one will prepare a short review of his/her read book.
You may give them extracts from the audio books with tasks made up by you to test their comprehension.
You may give the students extracts from Dickens�s works to read at home and to discuss in the class.
They may write an essay �My Dickens� (on the books they have read, on his life, and their favourite characters and parts of the novels, etc.)
You can make up a quiz on Dickens�s life, works and characters to find the best pupil who knows everything about the author, that is the best one, and give him/her a book by Dickens as an award.
I promise to look for some more information in English at home and send to you later.
Good luck!
Julia
