And if you click here, you will see other comics. Our comic as grew up like a baby to a grown-up. I will miss it yelling “I need more pictures!” or “This makes no sense!”. Here are links to its life cycle:

• 1 (Being born)
• 2 (Toddler)
• 3 (Older kid)
• 4 (Teenager)

• 5 (This post/adult)

After we had a Alice in Wonderland tea party. There was yummy food, and tasty drinks.  It was on the second floor, basically in the middle of the school! It was fun, but I didn’t get a turn to pin the smile on the Cheshire Cat! This Alice unit was tons of fun!

We (as in uw and me) have the chapter “Pig and Pepper”. We have done lots of pictures and are fixing and doing the final edits on our script.

This is Alice:

This is the duchess:

And this is the Cheshire Cat:

We chose our scenes by reading the book and deciding which  ones are important. The scenes are the Duchess’s house, her running to the Cheshire Cat, and the forest.  We have getting really far, and soon we will be on Comic Life!!! AHHHH!!!!!!!!

For a minute or two Alice stood looking at the house, and wondering what to do next. (Alice staring at the house)
Then suddenly a fish footman came running out of the forest.
(FF running out of the forest)

And knocked on the door. (FF knocking)

Another footman opened the door, but this time it was a frog. (FF1 opening door)

From the Queen. Invitation for the Duchess to play croquet. The fish footman said. (FF talking)

Alice went in to the house and led right to a large kitchen. She discovered the duchess over a cauldron putting large amount of pepper in the cauldron while holding a baby. (Duchess with cauldron holding a baby)

“There’s certainly to much pepper in that soup!” Alice said to her self. (Alice talking)

Then Alice saw a cat with a grin ear to ear. It was the Chesire Cat!
(Chesire Cat)

“Why does your cat grin like that?” Alice asked. (Alice asking)

“It’s a Chesire Cat that’s why. Pig!” The duchess said. (Duchess saying back)

“I didn’t know cats could grin!” Alice said. (Alice talking)

“You don’t know much and that’s a fact.” The Duchess replied. (Duchess insulting her)

The Duchess starting singing a harsh lullaby to her child: “Speak roughly to your little boy, and beat him when he sneezes, he only does it to annoy, because he knows it teases.” (Duchess singing)

Alice takes the baby, for the duchess was very rough with it. She runs out the door, and to her suprise baby turns in to a pig! (Alice holding a pig running out the door)

“If you are going to turn in to a pig, my dear then I have nothing to do with you!” Alice said while dropping the pig.

Then she was starled by seeing the Chesire Cat a few yards in the distant. (Alice looking)

She went up to the cat and asked “Which way I ought to go from here?” (Alice talking to CC)

“In that direction.” The Chesire cat said.(CC talking)

“But I don’t want to go among mad people!” Alice said.

“You can’t help that. Everyone’s mad here. Your mad. I’m mad. Everyone’s mad.” The Chesire Cat said. (CC talking)

Then slowly the cat disappeared.

• Read it with Ms. Edinger. Each person looked at different books. Ms. Edinger read from the annotated Alice.
• We watched some movies about it. We watched 1900 House, Betty in Blunderland, and The Young Visiters. (I thought that Charlie Chaplin was from the time but of course c16rb corrected me.)
• We learned about Alice Liddell (Did you know that she actually had short black hair not long blond hair?)
• We learned even more about Lewis Carroll. He told lots of stories to Alice and her sisters. Isn’t that so cool?
• We also learned why he wrote the book. (He told the story to Alice and Alice said to write it down. After that was a miracle.)

• We got partners and chose chapters from the book to draw comics of. I got “Pig and  Pepper.” It’s lots of fun!!!
