Teacher Notes on Alice in Wonderland
In Lewis Carroll's 1865 novel Alice in Wonderland, a young girl named Alice is sitting under a tree when she sees a white rabbit scurry by. She follows him down a rabbit hole, which leads to a strange new world. As she tries to find a way back home, Alice meets a colorful cast of characters, including a talking caterpillar, the disappearing Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter, and the Queen of Hearts.
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and Scholastic reference the Alice story in the lessons below to teach the concepts of escape planning and having two ways out in case of fire.
