Alice in Wonderland
In this unit of work students explore The book ‘Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland’ by Lewis Carroll and record their experiences of watching film extracts, reading text, listening to audio recordings and researching at illustrations inspired by Alice in Wonderland.

Final illustrations will demonstrate connections to the work of the British illustrators Sara Fanelli and Sir John Tenniel.
