Alice’s Adventures in Curriculum Land by Edward Wakeling
Published by Bedfordshire Education Service, 1990
The book is a collection of photocopy-able sheets for use in classrooms- word games, crossword puzzles, logic problems, poems, art and design- loads of topics all explained by or using concepts from the Alice books.
The introductory page quotes the Mock Turtle explaining his schooling to Alice:
‘When we were little,’ the Mock Turtle went on at last, more calmly, though still sobbing a little now and then, ‘we went to school in the sea. The master was an old Turtle — we used to call him Tortoise — ‘
‘Why did you call him Tortoise, if he wasn’t one?’ Alice asked.
‘We called him Tortoise because he taught us,’ said the Mock Turtle angrily: ‘really you are very dull!’
‘You ought to be ashamed of yourself for asking such a simple question,’ added the Gryphon; and then they both sat silent and looked at poor Alice, who felt ready to sink into the earth.
Written to support an exhibition of some sort- I don’t know where or exactly what of…
Wakeling is a prolific Carrollian and ex-chairman of the Lewis Carroll Society (1982-1985).
I can’t find another copy of this on-line, but you can get Wakeling’s other books on Amazon: Wakeling
