However, I have not read the book so would rather do that first. What a great experience for your students to get to see the movie after reading the book. I hope they appreciate what a wonderful teacher you are.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01739982274914536036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-52447338607491401862010-02-21T13:58:07.397-06:002010-02-21T13:58:07.397-06:00I swear, if my daughter weren't already in hig...I swear, if my daughter weren't already in high school, I would move just so that she could have you for an English teacher!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554217416500328610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-11412618100231253372010-02-20T21:26:20.580-06:002010-02-20T21:26:20.580-06:00I think that is a great assignment for your kids. ...I think that is a great assignment for your kids. That would be a lot of fun.<br /><br />I haven't read Alice In Wonderland in a long time and I probably need to do so again because my memory of it is not that great.

I really liked the book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, but didn't like the cartoon (I find it creepy, so I'm sure I'll be creeped out even more by the new movie).Alycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10919057159829023714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-89154004354414812732010-02-19T11:16:38.921-06:002010-02-19T11:16:38.921-06:00Ever since I saw the trailer, way back in Septembe...Ever since I saw the trailer, way back in September-ish 09, I knew I had to watch it. Not only because I like the story, but also because I believe Tim Burton, Johnny Depp, and Helana Bonham Carter will definitely bring something fresh to the table. I like it when movies stay true to the book, but I also like it when they put an original twist to it. <br /><br />Also, I'm so jealous, I bet you would've been such a cool English teacher to have if I had you when I was in high school. haha.Jillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07629286727932554109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-52564407815197014112010-02-19T10:41:25.563-06:002010-02-19T10:41:25.563-06:00Thanks for such an excellent post on Alice.

What a fabulous thing to do when reading classics.<br /><br />I think that is a great idea to get the students to write their own version of Alice's return to Wonderland.serendipity_vivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07156013023056026525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-25740247132348393532010-02-19T07:56:22.042-06:002010-02-19T07:56:22.042-06:00I definitely want to see the movie.

It was made back in the 1980's from a script by Dennis Potter. It tells the stoy of Alice Hargreaves who took a trip to the U.S. during the depression to attend a big Lewis Carroll celebration at a university. She ended up kind of a celebrity, doing commercials for the radio etc. There are flashback/subplots to her childhood and dream sequences featuring scenes from the books. The creatures were all done by the Muppet workshops. I'm not sure you can use the movie with your class, it's a little slow in parts, but I think you'll enjoy it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06906212382849291562noreply@blogger.com
