Activities After Reading

dreams, and Alice gets a lot of things wrong. Can you find her mistakes and correct
them?
Alice: well, first I saw a white rabbit, who took a clock out of his pocked, and then
I fell down a rabbit-hole.
Sister: Oh dear! Were you afraid?
Alice: Oh no. I fell very quickly, you see. And when I ate or drank things, I got taller
and smaller I talked to a caterpillar who was sitting on a mushroom, and I also
talked to a Duchess. Oh yes, and there was a baby that turned into a pig. Then I
played croquet – but for balls we had flamingoes, and the mallets were
hedgehogs.
Sister: There were a lot of animals in your dream.
Alice: Yes, there were. There was also a Cheshire Cat who speak, and I had tea
party with a March Hare and a Hatter.
Sister: A Hatter?
Alice: Yes, you know, a man who buys hats. He was one of the jurymen who gave
evidence at the trial
Sister: What trial was that?
Alice: Oh, somebody ate some tarts. But the evidence was all nonsense, and the
Queen of Hearts wanted to cut people’s heads off all the time.
Sister: Cut their heads off? That’s terrible!
Alice: They didn’t really cut people’s heads off, you know. They were just a box of
cards – made of wood.
2) Later, Alice wrote a song about her dream. Fill in the gaps with seven of these
words. For each gap, there are two possible words. Which are they, and why is
one of them better? (Think about the sound of the word.)
One day I had a curious dream,
But now I ask, ‘What did it mean?’
I saw a cat up in a tree,
Who spoke as well as you or me.
In a pool of tears I met a mouse,
And then a Hatter outside a building,
Having tea with a mad March Hare.
Perhaps they’re both still sitting here.
And then there was a plate of tarts,
Made by the angry Queen of hearts.
Her croquet game was hard to play;
The hoops and balls just walked turn.
The jury trial was also strange,
But then the cards began to show
Into leaves
And I woke up.
