Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 7
Beginner - Intermediate Level
"Alice's Adventures in Wonderland transports you down the rabbit-hole into a wondrous realm that is home to a White Rabbit, a March Hare, a Mad Hatter, a tea-drinking Dormouse, a grinning Cheshire-Cat, the Queen of Hearts and her playing-card retainers, and all manner of marvelous creatures. Through the Looking-Glass is your passport to a topsy-turvy world on the other side of the mirror, where you have to run fast just to stay in place, memory works backwards, and it is possible to believe as many as six impossible things before breakfast".     - Citation is provided below! 

Join us in reading Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass while discussing the famous story! Through the class, we will be focusing on the many life lessons embedded in Carroll's stories through such famous characters as the Queen of Hearts, the talking flowers, the Mad Hatter, and more! Below is a schedule of topics that we will be covering in each class.
