Reading Context

Use these questions or activities to help gauge students’ familiarity with and spark their interest in the context of the work, giving them an entry point into the text itself.

Short Answer

1. What comes to mind when you hear the title Alice in Wonderland? What do you already know about the story?

Teaching Suggestion: It may be helpful to have students discuss this in small groups before a class discussion. It may be beneficial to have students identify what kind of media they associate with the story; for example, students may have been introduced to Alice through the 1951 Disney cartoon, the 2010 Tim Burton live-action film, Carroll’s original novel , or another adaptation. Through small group discussion, students may compare their experiences to their peers and consider the numerous  multimedia  adaptations this classic tale inspired, which can then transition into a class discussion on the story’s cultural impact and history.
