I created this powerpoint as part of a home learning pack for a year 7 class but it could be adapted for classroom use. It uses Lewis Carroll’s acrostic poem spelling out the name of Alice Liddell, his muse. The powerpoint has 9 teaching slides (the tenth is merely a title slide).

The start of the learning asks the pupils to do some research and find answers to these questions:

Who wrote “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”?
What is an acrostic poem?
Write down an example of an acrostic poem.
What is a muse?

Slide 3 has some context about Carroll and the afternoon that gave rise to the story of Wonderland.

Slides 4, 5, 6 and 7 use questioning to look at extracts from “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” with a focus on dreaming and the attitude of Alice’s older sister towards Alice, reality and growing up.

Slides 8 and 9 explore the poem.

Slide 10 asks the pupils to write their own acrostic poem about someone (real or fictional) who’s important in their life.
