A Tale of Two Cities: The Interactive Illustrated Version

Apparently, Mr. Daugherty fell and hit his head, which not only rendered him left-handed, but also caused him to completely forget A Tale of Two Cities.  This was a most unfortunate thing, since the ninth grade class is well over half-way through the book.  To remedy the situation, Mr. Daugherty asked the ninth grade to teach him the story, and as they explained each intricate plot twist, a few gentlemen provided thoughtful illustrations on the white board.  Not only did Mr. Daugherty's memory return by the end of the class period, but the students answered one another's questions and very thoroughly reviewed the book.  Below are a few of the illustrations from that review.  See if you can name the characters and scenes below.  We give thanks to Ben Coleman, Josh Hanson, and Joe Vaughan for their artistic contributions (and we extend them grace for spelling errors recognizing that these illustrations were a kind of performance art, done in real time, as their classmates blurted out the story).
