1. Twas brillig … Interpreting poetry through film and drama

2. Lesson 1 objective: To decode unfamiliar words, using contextual, morphological and grammatical clues (In other words: What is this poem about? What do these words mean?)

3. Lesson 2 objective: To understand that a poem can be interpreted in different ways (What do I think it means? What do the film-makers think it means: in the first verse? in the last verse?) Ref: Jabberwocky: http://vimeo.com/13641637

4. Lesson 3 objective: Express our interpretation through role play (Act out what we think it means. Understand what the others think it means.)

5. Lesson 4 objective: To write a story inspired by Jabberwocky with the help of writing frames (Plan the setting, characters, problem and resolution. Use our own poetic ideas.)

6. Lesson 5 objective: To second-draft a story for younger reading partners (Read and edit each others drafts. Write it in best so someone else can read it.)

7. Lesson 6 objective: To provide an audience for our writing (Read the new story to other people. Get them to interpret it!)
