Jabberwocky by Lauren Tate https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg en-us 2020-08-18 12:43:47 UTC 2024-11-10 09:48:17 UTC hello@padlet.com tatel9 https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684634620 2020-08-18 12:45:52 UTC https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684634620 tatel9 https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684636825 2020-08-18 12:47:14 UTC https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684636825 McKenna Cady https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684667909 I believe this poem is about a parental figure warning a son about fighting in some type of war or battle. The Jabberwocky could represent the other side along with all of the other "animals" mentioned in the poem. The "callooh, callay" is obviously some type of victory chant, so the fight could have been won. ]]> 2020-08-18 13:04:44 UTC https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684667909 Elizabeth Via https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684670181 I think the poem is about a boy with a very bold imagination. He makes up this fight scene in his head with this creature called the Jabberwocky.]]> 2020-08-18 13:05:47 UTC https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684670181 Alexis Campbell https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684670245 My interpretation of this poem is that an older peron is warning a young boy of a deadly creature. This creature resembles a bird and has a sword. This may be metaphorical. The bird appears to be ruthless.]]> 2020-08-18 13:05:49 UTC https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684670245 Sara Keeton https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684670540 I believe this poem is talking about a man's journey on an adventure, and some parental figure is trying to change the man's view of the situation so he will not go on the journey. However, this just encourages the man to go on the journey even more, so he slays the Jabberwocky. When he gets back to his home, the parental figure is full of pride when he finds out the Jabberwocky is slain.]]> 2020-08-18 13:05:58 UTC https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684670540 Charlie Borta https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684670745 I think that this poem is more of a metaphorical meaning for facing your fears in a sense. When it says he slays" the monster or jabberwocky in this, he is really fighting a fear while his parental figure cheers him on. This could be wrong but that's how I interpreted it.]]> 2020-08-18 13:06:03 UTC https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684670745 Luana de Paulo ldepaulo91 https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684671303 I have no idea. It has a lot of nonsense words to me. Sorry!!

From the parts that I could understand it kind of remind me of Beowolf. I think the poem is about a parent warning the child about a monster. This monster could represent different lessons that a child can face. ex. depression, anxiety]]> 2020-08-18 13:07:01 UTC https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684672883 Ansley Toy / Eubank atoy69 https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684673967 In this poem it seems to be a warning to a person’s son. The warning as a whole is talking about a thing/creature named the Jabberwocky. It goes in great details of imagery on what the Jabberwocky is capable of.

The surprise in this case is a Jabberwocky who could hurt the son. That is all I really understood.]]> 2020-08-18 13:08:04 UTC https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684675131 Charlie Borta https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684675204 It was dark, the elements harsh as can be
All were sound asleep, the rest out for blood

Warnings of Jabberwocky were just as he was surely near
Beware of its danger]]> 2020-08-18 13:08:06 UTC https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684675204 Madyson Driggers https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684675457 I believe that this poem is about a parent who is giving a warning to their son. While warning their child, he describes the warning as the Jabberwocky. While describing the Jabberwocky, he states what the Jabberwocky can do and the skills he can fulfill to fear their son. ]]> 2020-08-18 13:08:13 UTC https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684675457 McKenna Cady https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684675624 This night was dark and cold
Those who slept slumbered in peace
And those aroused stood on guard.

Beware the enemy, my son!
Their swords clash and horses gallop.
Beware their allies and the terrible general. ]]> 2020-08-18 13:08:18 UTC https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684675624 Jordan Lindsey https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684677624 I think that this poem is reminding one that in life we will face many battles that we may fear and not be ready for. Be that as it may, we have to fight with everything we have to make it through and receive the victory we've been waiting for. ]]> 2020-08-18 13:09:10 UTC https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684677624 Sara Keeton https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684683043 It was a cold and dreadful night
Those asleep were peaceful
But others were out for revenge.

Beware of the dangerous Jabberwocky, son!
He uses his teeth and claws for evil.
Beware of the friends he has, they are dangerous as well.]]> 2020-08-18 13:11:25 UTC https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684683043 Lauren Woodard https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684684829 It was a cold and misty night
Everything was still and quiet
Except for the creatures that comes out at night

Watch out for the Jabberwock
He is a dangerous, ruthless creature
Watch out for the Jubjub birds
They are just as deadly

A warning was given regarding one creature in particular, the Jabberwocky. An older person describes to a younger boy the danger he could encounter amongst meeting the Jabberwocky. He had strong jaws and sharp claws to follow. Beware of him, and many others like him.]]> 2020-08-18 13:12:25 UTC https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684685492 Sarah Simonton https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684688531 It was a cool and dreary night.
Most everyone was safe at home.
The slightest sound gave you chills.

Watch out for the Jabberwock!
His teeth and claws will hurt you.
Beware of his army of birds and unknowns ]]> 2020-08-18 13:13:33 UTC https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684688531 Ansley Toy/Eubank atoy69 https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684692081 In the dark spooky woods, 
all foggy and no one in sight.
This is a place where no one goes, 
because it will give you a fright.

Heed my warning my poor boy
as a monster lives in there.
He is called the "Jubberwock" and 
your throat he can cleanly tear.

I also learned that each nonsense word had its own breakdown in this article. In terms of translating into the classroom, I think it delves into the usefulness of taking a second look at material after gaining some background knowledge on it. ]]> 2020-08-18 13:16:20 UTC https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684695593 Jordan Lindsey https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684696652 It was late in the evening, very dark and very spooky. Where one dreads to be walking out alone. It seems that there is no one in sight..

But watch out for the creature who stalks its prey. It has jaws that bite and large claws to wrap you in its grasp. ]]> 2020-08-18 13:16:44 UTC https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684696652 Elizabeth Via https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684699573 ’Twas electric and bold
In the town so old
all joyful and merry were they
But an eery time was about to arrive

The creature that bites
And creeps through the night
The vultures are hungry and wait with the wolves
For the jabberwocky to kill its pray

It was a part of Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland" novels. I did, however, find a new perspective within reading the article that just built itself on to my previous knowledge. I did not realize that it was possible Carroll was writing to respond to Beowulf. Within the classroom, I believe that this poem would be a good introduction to show the class poems do not have to be boring, but can still not make much sense. I think it would so be a good introduction into if you read the "Alice in Wonderland" book with your class.]]> 2020-08-18 13:17:54 UTC https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684699935 Alexis kocsis https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684704975 I believe the poem is about a grandmother trying to do all she can to protect her grandson. He seems to be in adventurous type, but granny wants him to be safe. ]]> 2020-08-18 13:19:49 UTC https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684704975 Sara Keeton https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684707561 When I learned that Lewis Carroll wrote "Jabberwocky", it made complete sense to me that half of the words in this poem were made up. However, I thought it was interesting how this is his take on a story like "Beowulf". For such a cliche 'man slays the beast and wins the day' kind of story, it makes sense that Carroll puts his own little  spin on it to either confuse readers or make them think of a deeper meaning.
I think this would translate every nicely into the classroom. When the student read it, have them rewrite the poem like we did, then give them the answer as to what the poem means and stands for. This can teach the students that writing and reading poetry can be fun, and that it is not always cliche and boring.]]> 2020-08-18 13:20:47 UTC https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684707561 Luana de Paulo ldepaulo91 https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684709758 After reading the article I got a better idea of what the poem was about. When I think about bringing this experience to the classroom it is very clear to me that it is important to give my students some background knowledge about the material before starting some new concept, and it is also very clear to me the importance of taking a second or a third look at the material. Translating into a classroom this second or third look could be a chapter review, for example.

The article mentioned Beowolf just like I mentioned. It was interesting to know that the poem was full of nonsense words because I thought they were in another language like Old English. As far as the summary of the poem, I believe I was on the right path. The character was facing a demon that has been haunting him for a while. I enjoyed reading and analyzing this poem.]]> 2020-08-18 13:23:53 UTC https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684715442 Elizabeth Via https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684715616 Previously knowing the poem from high school choir, I knew it was a nonsense poem. It was nice to be refreshed with what all of the words meant. In the classroom I think it is a great way to connect the students to the poem. By having them guess what they think is means gets them engaged in the poem and will hopefully make them want to know more or the true meaning behind it.]]> 2020-08-18 13:23:57 UTC https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684715616 Sarah Simonton https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684731832 This poem was confusing to me the first time I read it. I was happy to find out I was actually reading a nonsense poem. This can translate into the classroom by showing students they can be creative with their writing and that they can use their imagination to show what they are thinking.]]> 2020-08-18 13:29:35 UTC https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684731832 Madyson Driggers 2 https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684736097 It was a gloomy and foggy night 
Everything was slient in the crisp air
As the creatures await while the Silence carries throughout the night.
Here my call of my warning, my son!
As the Jabberwocky is filled with capabilities. 
Here my calling of my warning of the Jub Jub bird!
Where the bird is filled with evil skills as to harming you, my son. ]]> 2020-08-18 13:31:05 UTC https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684736097 Alexis Campbell https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684737513 When given background knowledge, I was quite relieved to find out most of the words were nonsense. I really struggled to understand the context in which the odd words were being used. Many of those words were describing creatures I have never heard of before. Because of the background knowledge, the poem makes more sense.]]> 2020-08-18 13:31:31 UTC https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684737513 Ansley Toy/Eubank atoy69 https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684738357 As I read the article I sighed in relief to know I did get the monster right however there were 3. Even-though the poem was really hard to understand I was glad to figure out that it was purposefully confusing because it was a “nonsense poem”. You can use this as an opportunity to improve students skills on poem writing and reading by having them make up "neoligisms" like slimy (miserable + flimsy).]]> 2020-08-18 13:31:48 UTC https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684738357 Alexis Kocsis https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684739496 It was a dark, cold night 
 All the critters gave 
 Granny wearing her knit gloves

 You ought to be careful in these woods
 There is something lurking at night

It makes readers believe there is a deeper knowledge or providing one the opportunity to come up with their own version of what it could mean. 
When it comes to a classroom, students have to have prior knowledge of any given text or subject in order to understand what is going on. This helps store and build on students knowledge during and after a given lesson or assignment. ]]> 2020-08-18 13:34:59 UTC https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684746899 Madyson Driggers https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684759233 The article provided me with a better concept of the poem. As I began to read the article, it helped me understand more by providing a lot of better understanding vocabulary and synonyms to help us grasp a better concept of the terms throughout the poem. The article also helped my understanding of the poem by providing me with feedback, and story lines of what they stanzas mean and how they accompany by their meaning of the poem. I really liked how the article provided us with a more clear understanding of the poem by describing the wording. These really helped my understanding of the poem and I now have more of a clear picture. ]]> 2020-08-18 13:39:22 UTC https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684759233 Alexis kocsis https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684790170 Reading it the second time and getting information from it, now I know that "mimsy" is not grandmother, but meaning miserable instead.  Its not a grandmother trying to protect someone. Its someone trying to protect their world. Make something out of their name.  
We look at stuff with one perspective and typically stick with that one. When you open your eyes and see stuff with other perspectives, it opens everything up and may work better. With the classroom. Sometimes its okay if we look at stuff in a new sight, then keeping with the old ways. Like this poem, its one way to see it as a grandmother trying ti protect her son. But really its just someone trying to protect their town. Still involves protecting. ]]> 2020-08-18 13:50:13 UTC https://padlet.com/tatel9/t8rj0v1imgw1xdvg/wish/684790170
