Learning about Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
To start learning about Alice we read Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Ms. Edinger read the annotated version out loud and we followed along. She read the annotated version so we learned more about Alice and learned the original versions of all of the poems. One of the things we learned is that Lewis Carroll’s real name was Charles Dodgson. Lewis Carroll is an anagram of Charles Dodgson We also watched 1900’s House to see what life was like at the time of Alice. Then we studied comics. What the speech bubbles would look like for different characters, how to show movement and how to show sounds. After that we chose our favorite Alice chapters. We got paired up with a partner and chose the scenes. And then we started writing the script.
