Step III Writing

In this step, students will do the match work first to know something about Lewis Carroll. Introduce more about Lewis Carroll to them and then ask them to write the story of Lewis Carroll and Alice Liddell

T: Last period, I asked you to find some information about the writer of the story, have you finished?

S: Yes.

T: Can you tell me who the writer is?

S: Lewis Carroll.

T: Good. Today let’s learn more about the writer. Let’s learn why and how he wrote this story?

Ask students to read the questions and answers fast, make sure they understand each one, and then let them do the match work.

After a few minutes, call back the answers from the whole class, having one student ask a question and another answer. Explain when necessary.

If possible, introduce more about the writer. (See Teaching resources: I)

Then ask students to make a list of the information of Lewis Carroll and Alice Liddell and then join the sentences with “one day…, then…, and finally…”to write the story. When they have finished, ask some of them to read their story to the class.

Sample version:

　　 Lewis Carroll’s real name was Charles Dodgson. He was teaching math at the University of Oxford, England. One day he saw Alice in a garden. She was playing with her sisters. Carroll went to meet the girls and they asked him to take their photos. He became good friends with the Liddell children. One day they were having a picnic by the river, and Carroll was telling the girls lots of stories. Alice asked him to write down the stories. Then Carroll wrote Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.
