When Alice sees the White Rabbit run by it occurs to her that she's never seen a rabbit with a watch before. Burning with curiosity, she jumps up and follows him into a rabbit-hole. Then she falls down a long, long way… With David Bamber as the splendid White Rabbit, Roy Hudd as the Mad Hatter and Sarah-Jane Holm as Alice, the spellbinding and fantastic story sparkles with nonsensical life in this full-cast dramatisation.

Task 6. Reading Alice in Wonderland

Aim: to introduce the storyline (some students will recall it if they've already watched the movie).

Read the scenes and put them in the order they come in the movie. Even if you haven't watched the movie, try to guess the order of the events logically.

1. With Bayard's help, Alice arrives at the Red Queen's castle. There, she eats a piece of cake and becomes much larger. The Red Queen doesn't know who she is and welcomes her into her palace. In the castle Alice discovers that the vorpal sword is locked in the den of the Bandersnatch.

2. The White Queen dismisses the Red Queen and the Knave of Hearts. When the Knave attempts to kill the Red Queen the Mad Hatter stops him. The White Queen then gives Alice a bottle of the Jabberwocky's blood which can give her whatever she wishes. Alice wishes to go back to her life in England.

3. Alice thinks she is in a dream and attempts to wake up, but it doesn't work. The Bandersnatch, led by the Knave of Hearts, begins to run after them. Tweedledee and Tweedledum are plucked from the ground by the Jubjub bird and taken to the castle of the Red Queen,

4. The Knave of Hearts tries to corrupt Alice, the Red Queen becomes mad because of jealousy and orders for Alice to take her head off, but Alice is able to escape and rescue the vorpal sword with the help of the Bandersnatch. Eventually they arrive at the White Queen's Castle.

5. At the White Queen's castle, Alice learns that she has been to Wonderland before as a child. She realizes now that this is very real and her destiny is to kill Jabberwocky. The armies of the Red and White Queens meet on the battlefield for a final fight and the Jabberwocky is released.

6. Hamish, the son of a business partner of Alice's father, proposes to Alice, in front of all the guests during a garden party. Alice tells everyone that she needs a moment and starts to follow a white rabbit until she falls through the rabbit-hole and finds herself in a strange room.

7. A child Alice wakes up in the middle of the night after having a nightmare. Her father tucks her back into bed and tells her that she is mad, but that 'all the best people are'.

8. When she returns to the garden party, Alice refuses Hamish's proposal, and decides to make her father's shipping bigger and trade route with his business partner. She's traveling on a ship heading to China.

Key

1: 7

2: 6

3: 3

4: 1

5: 4

6: 5

7: 2

8: 8

Task 7. Follow-up discussion of Alice in Wonderland

Aim: to practise speaking for fluency; practice new vocabulary.

Discuss the questions:

1. Why do you think Alice didn't refuse to fight?

2. What are the recognizable features of the film that distinguish it as a Tim Burton film?

3. Director Tim Burton makes it clear that this is intentionally a very different sort of Alice from that of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Which Alice, from Burton's movie or Carroll's book, do you like most? Why?

4. In the film Burton explores the question: What if Alice returned to Wonderland when she was older? As a result, he addresses the struggle of identity, as well as place and meaning in the experience of growing up. Make up your own version of Alice's returning to Wonderland.

Keys:

1. She is brave, fair, well-brought up. She can tell the good from the evil.

2. One of the most easily recognizable Tim Burton signatures is his casting. It is usually a fair bet that when you see Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter together in a film playing eccentric characters, you are watching a Tim Burton film. Additionally, the visual style, at once whimsical and macabre, establishes Alice in Wonderland as a Tim Burton confection. There is always something at once magical but also a little dark or off about a Tim Burton film, and Alice in Wonderland has that. The forest of Wonderland is filled with curvaceous branches, the Red Queen's castle is a Gothic maze, and the image of the white knights and the red knight meeting one another on the battlefield is at once Medieval and futuristic/dystopian.

Change the partner and discuss the questions:

1. Has anyone ever tried to corrupt you? If so, why?

2. Did you like it when you were tucked into your bed by your parents?

3. Have you ever been dismissed earlier at school? Why did that happen?

4. What do you think is the most powerful weapon of a person? Why?

Task 8. Writing

Aim: to develop students' writing skills.

Choose a topic and write a 200-word essay.

Topic 1

Write a movie review. Follow the plan:

Topic 2.

As we remember, Alice chose to get back to England and travel around the world, but miraculously she can still send letters to the inhabitants of Wonderland and receive letters back from them.

First, think who Alice is going to write to. It can be absolutely any character from Wonderland. Then write a letter.

Extra task. Speaking

In Tim Burton's 2010 adaptation, he creates a desolate and depressing world of Underland, highlighting only the negative undertones of the original stories. He attempts to offer a darker interpretation, where the riddles, rhymes, and childlike nonsense of Wonderland no longer exist. However, let's go back to the original version and learn the art of making puns. Look at the quotes from the book 'Alice in Wonderland'. Find the play on words.

"...flamingoes and mustard both bite."

"There's a large mustard-mine near here. And the moral of that is -"The more there is of mine, the less there is of yours."

"We called him Tortoise because he taught us"

"That's the reason they're called lessons,' the Gryphon remarked: `because they lessen from day to day."
