Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

In Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll tells the story of a young girl's journey through a world of fantasy, imagination, and inner transformation. It is my hope to guide my students through Alice's journey as well as a journey of their own. Although Alice is supposed to be a child, the reader can easily follow her seamless development into adolescence from the upward trajectory of her thoughts, her actions, and her reactions to and from other characters.

Ultimately, as Alice vacillates between child and adolescent in her quest for identity, the reader witnesses the inner journey of a child who intuitively knows that there is more to life than others may expect her to understand, and her curiosity takes her on a journey through the mind, heart, and soul that leads her to a place of poignant understanding and sublime wonderment.

Alice's quest for identity and understanding is shown through the characters she engages with and the different phases in life that they represent.
