Identify Themes in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

Activity Overview

Themes, symbols, and motifs come alive when you use a Storyboard. In this activity, students will identify a theme of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and support it with evidence from the text.

One theme is “Childhood Imagination”:

• The cat vanishes slowly beginning with the tail, and ending with the grin, which remained some time after the rest of it had gone.
• Alice tries to play croquet using hedgehogs as balls and flamingos as mallets.

A second theme is “Identity”:

• "I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I'm not the same, the next question is, Who in the world am I? Ah, THAT's the great puzzle!"
• Alice tells the Caterpillar that she cannot explain herself because she is confused after having changed sizes so many times.
