Jabberwocky

Jabberwocky

Here is a rendition of the Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll. Have a listen and then have a go at some of the suggested activities below.

Now let's have some fun with this....

• Play the video again and pause at any of the nonsense words and define them
• Can you draw the Jabberwocky's eye
• Draw and label a jubjub bird ( be imaginative)
• Draw our hero with his vorpal sword.
• What did our hero think about as he rested by the Tumtum tree? Write an inner dialogue as his thoughts.
• Describe the battle with the Jabberwocky - use adventurous language to really set the scene.
• Challenge yourself to learn this poem by heart (it will stay with you forever)
• Change the first and last verse using nonsense words
• Write your own nonsense poem about whatever you like.(perhaps your teacher or your mum)
