In a whimsical fantasy, Alice enters a world filled with fantastic settings where authority is uncertain, adults are irrational, language sounds like nonsense, and absurdities are natural. Sitting by her sister on the bank of the Thames on a summer afternoon with nothing to do, Alice feels sleepy. Suddenly a white rabbit runs close by her. Curious, Alice follows him into his hole and falls into what seems to be a very deep well. So begins her adventures in Wonderland and her experiences with a magical set of characters. This book, first published in Victorian England, is still a classic enjoyed by adults.
Students write creatively, composing adventure stories, response journals, newspapers. They embark on a scavenger hunt. They identify figures of speech, examine word manipulation, and pun fun. Students explore perceptive insights on the human condition and look at a scintillating parody on growing up.
