Curiouser and Curiouser


 


“It's no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.”
-Alice, from Alice in Wonderland


Building off of last week's lesson on the Beatles, I decided it made sense to create a fantastical, magical, mystery class of our own. πŸ˜‰ Lewis Carroll's 152 year-old fantasy on Alice, and her adventures in Wonderland seemed to be the perfect fit. It also worked well as a version of this classic story was this year's theatre production here at SATEC.

The history and origin of Alice in Wonderland also reinforced our year-long theme on storytelling; and the myriad ways stories are told and shared. Therefore, prior to diving into this week's mentor texts we looked at a few other examples of how this story has been told and expressed through the years.
