I’m excited to announce that each Monday

over the next 14 weeks; Alice’s
Adventures in Wonderland Book Unit will
be featured in weekly blog posts.
http://bookunitsteacher.com/wp/
Saving each lesson for a novel study is a

great option. Since students are so
familiar with this well-loved classic, most
chapters can be stand-alone lessons.
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland was
originally published in 1865, so it is now
in public domain. There is no need to
purchase a class set of books because the
complete text will be added to the unit
plans.
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

Materials
The following materials are needed to make the organizers:
 spiral bound notebooks (Although composition notebooks have great bounded edges,
they are smaller in size and some of the organizers will not easily fit onto the pages.)
 duct tape (Wrapping the spiral wires keeps them from being snagged and pulled. The
duct tape also keeps the front and back covers attached to the notebooks. Once
students lose a cover more and more pages seem to come loose. Using duct tape can
be fun. Camouflage, college logos, neon colors are just some of the varieties that are
available.)
 colored copier paper (Although this is not a must, using color is one strategy for
enhancing memory. I like to use colored paper and encourage students to use color
pencils/crayons when creating their organizers for this reason.)
 cardstock or construction paper (Some organizers will work best if created with
heavier weight cardstock. If your copier has no problem with construction paper, it
can be used. Construction paper is cheaper and works equally well.)
 colored pencils, crayons, highlighters ( I prefer students don’t use magic markers as
the ink often soaks through onto the next page. Using highlighters is a great
compromise.)
white glue (Although many students prefer glue sticks, I have found the pieces begin
coming loose after a month or so. Just a little white glue holds pieces more securely.)

Vocabulary Test

The following items are available to aid in teaching vocabulary:
 A Suggested Vocabulary Teaching Method – I have included the method that

I use to teach vocabulary. I have used this method with 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th
graders with success. There are many other successful methods. If your class is
struggling to learn new vocabulary words, you may wish to give this method a try.
If you have a different method that is successful, you probably will not want to
change.
 A Vocabulary List with Two Words from Each Chapter – This list contains the
words, definitions, several synonyms for each word, the part of speech as the
word is used in the chapter, and the sentences from the text which include the
words. In some cases, I have included several sentences to aid students in
determining the meaning of the word.
 Vocabulary Bookmarks – These bookmarks contain the complete vocabulary
list. I have included both colored and blackline versions. I have found these
bookmarks are extremely helpful for students who have been absent. Students
may use the list to help catch up missing vocabulary words. The bookmark list
also aids students who lose vocabulary cards.
 Word Cards – In my classroom, I use the printable word cards on a word wall. I
change the word wall with each unit. I use index cards for students to make
response cards. If you are not limited in the number of copies you use, you may
wish to print these cards onto cardstock for students to use in place of the index
cards. The bold typed words are easy to read whereas some student writing is
extremely difficult. You may also wish to use the printable cards to differentiate
instruction.
 Vocabulary Storage Pocket – This pocket is intended for the vocabulary
response cards. It will hold either the printable cards or the index cards.
 Vocabulary Practice Book - This book contains a half page daily practice with
each pair of vocabulary words. At the end of each five day period, you will find a
half page review of all words up to the review point.
 Matching Vocabulary Test

When I first began teaching, I combed through each book writing down every word I
thought my students may need to practice. I used this extensive list and made flash
cards, created practice pages, and invented game activities. My students were able
to make passing grades on vocabulary tests, many made100, at the end of the units,
but I soon discovered the words were only in the students’ short-term memories. The
words were not becoming part of the students’ oral or written vocabulary. Also, when
I gave review tests several months later, the test scores were low. At this point, I
changed my teaching strategy and found a much more successful teaching
method.
Here’s how it works:
I select no more than two words a day. With a restrictive number of words, I am able
to practice every word, every day while teaching the unit. Students will hear the
words over and over again which is essential for long-term memory. I also select a
large number of synonyms for each vocabulary word to use in this daily study. Many
of these synonyms are selected to enhance vocabulary development as well.
Every day, I have students create vocabulary cards with these words. [Note: I have
included printables in this packet for this, or you may use index cards.]
 On one side of the index card, have students write the vocabulary word in
large letters, so that it may be used as a response card. For daily practice,
students spread their index cards with the words facing up on their desktops.
The teacher calls out definitions, synonyms, antonyms, or sentences with
missing words, etc. Students locate the correct word and hold up the card. This
is a great way for the teacher to check to determine if students need
additional practice or if most know the words. Also, each student is
participating with each teacher request – the every student, every time theory.
 When teaching a new word, I have students create word webs or write
definitions on the reverse side of the card. A word such as encyclopedia will
need a definition, whereas inspire would be an ideal word for a word web. I
usually read the sentence from the text in which the word may be found. [This
is included in this packet.] The students must use context clues to determine the
meaning of the word. As students name synonyms or come up with a great
definition, I write it on the board for the students to copy on their cards.
 I always have students determine which part of speech the word is as it is used
in the sentence from the text. This is written on the back of the card as well.
[The part of speech for each word is listed in the vocabulary list I have
provided.]

 Next I call on student volunteers to use the word in sentences. To mix things up,
we sometimes write the sentences on the card backs, and other times this is
just oral practice.
 Some words need an illustration. For example, microscope would be a great

word for students to draw quick sketches next to their definitions, in place of
writing sentences, on their card backs. To differentiate instruction, you may
have some students draw their illustrations on the front of the card.
Using Index Cards to Teach Vocabulary

Chapter 1
waistcoat (adjective) - a sleeveless garment for men, formerly worn under a doublet
synonym: vest
There was nothing so very remarkable in that; nor did Alice think it so very much out
of the way to hear the Rabbit say to itself, 'Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be late!' (when
she thought it over afterwards, it occurred to her that she ought to have wondered
at this, but at the time it all seemed quite natural); but when the Rabbit actually took
a watch out of its waistcoat-pocket, and looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice
started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a
rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with
curiosity, she ran across the field after it, and fortunately was just in time to see it pop
down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge.

didn't sound at all the right word) '—but I shall have to ask them what the name of
the country is, you know.

Hardly knowing what she did, she picked up a little bit of stick, and held it out to the
puppy; whereupon the puppy jumped into the air off all its feet at once, with a yelp
of delight, and rushed at the stick, and made believe to worry it; then Alice dodged
behind a great thistle, to keep herself from being run over; and the moment she
appeared on the other side, the puppy made another rush at the stick, and tumbled
head over heels in its hurry to get hold of it; then Alice, thinking it was very like having
a game of play with a cart-horse, and expecting every moment to be trampled
under its feet, ran round the thistle again; then the puppy began a series of short
charges at the stick, running a very little way forwards each time and a long way
back, and barking hoarsely all the while, till at last it sat down a good way off,
panting, with its tongue hanging out of its mouth, and its great eyes half shut.

For a minute or two she stood looking at the house, and wondering what to do next,

she would have called him a fish)—and rapped loudly at the door with his knuckles.

eating and drinking.
'They lived on treacle,' said the Dormouse, after thinking a minute or two.
'They couldn't have done that, you know,' Alice gently remarked; 'they'd have
been ill.'

mallet (noun) - a tool with a large head shaped like a barrel and a long handle, used
to drive a ball in croquet or polo

Alice thought she had never seen such a curious croquet-ground in her life; it was all

make the arches.

'And how many hours a day did you do lessons?' said Alice, in a hurry to change
the subject.
'Ten hours the first day,' said the Mock Turtle: 'nine the next, and so on.'
'What a curious plan!' exclaimed Alice.
'That's the reason they're called lessons,' the Gryphon remarked: 'because they
lessen from day to day.'

frontispiece (noun) – an illustration facing or preceding the title page of a book
print, picture, photograph, drawing, image, sketch,

The judge, by the way, was the King; and as he wore his crown over the wig, (look at

and it was certainly not becoming.

And took them quite away!'
'Consider your verdict,' the King said to the jury.

dismay (noun) – alarm, confusion, or mental distress
synonyms: panic, sadness, depression, shock, apprehension
'Oh, I beg your pardon!' she exclaimed in a tone of great dismay, and began picking
them up again as quickly as she could, for the accident of the goldfish kept running
in her head, and she had a vague sort of idea that they must be collected at once
and put back into the jury-box, or they would die.

diligent (adjective) - trying hard and steadily to achieve a goal
diligently ~ Adding –ly turns adjectives into adverbs.
hard-working, industrious, meticulous, conscientious, thorough,

synonyms:
attentive, careful, painstaking, persistent
As soon as the jury had a little recovered from the shock of being upset, and their
slates and pencils had been found and handed back to them, they set to work very
diligently to write out a history of the accident, all except the Lizard, who seemed too
much overcome to do anything but sit with its mouth open, gazing up into the roof of
the court.

Print one vocabulary storage pocket for each student on
colored paper.
Have students cut out the pocket on the bold lines.
To make the pocket, fold the left and right sides toward the
back of the pocket on the dotted lines.
Next fold the bottom flap up toward the back.
Glue the flaps in place.
Glue the pocket to the inside of the front cover of the

vocabulary booklet.

Making the Mini-Book
I recommend that you duplicate the cover onto construction paper or card stock.
Standard construction paper is 9 by 12 inches which makes the cover a bit larger than
the pages inside.
This book cover was

printed on standard
sized copier paper
which will work
equally well if you do
not have a copier
that will print
construction paper.
Your pages must be duplicated on the front and the back. I ran my pages front and back
directly from the printer. This is a simple process with only eight pages. Simply place the
page that has been printed on one side back into the printer for the reverse side to be
printed. Once all the pages have been printed arrange them in numerical order and
staple down the middle to form the book.
To print the 12 page (3 Pieces of Paper) comprehension book back-to-front follow this
guide:
Pages 12 & 1 front with Pages 2 & 11 on back


 V oc abulary Storage Pocket
After printing this page on colored paper, have the students cut out the pocket on the bold lines. Next
