Found some Lewis Carroll sites to work on with Alannah and thought I would pass them along. This one has a number of links including lesson plans. Discovery School has a plan that includes surrealist art study. While you are there check out the lit section. Did you know they had a Great Books program online?? We haven't really investigated some of these artists so may go down that rabbit trail. This one focuses on different Alice illustrators and is geared for younger readers.
I have been rolling over some of his quotes this morning. Thought I would share while we are on the subject:
On teaching: "My one pupil has begun his work with me, and I will give you a description how the lecture is conducted. It is the most important point, you know, that the tutor should be dignified and at a distance from the pupil, and that the pupil should be as much as possible degraded.... So I sit at the further end of the room; outside the door (which is shut) sits the scout; outside the outer door (also shut) sits the sub-scout: half-way downstairs sits the sub- sub-scout: and down in the yard sits the pupil.
The questions are shouted from one to the other, and the answers come back in the same way—it is rather confusing till you are well used to it."
On God: "I have had prayers answered - most strangely so sometimes - but I think our heavenly Father's loving-kindness has been even more evident in what He has refused me. "
and finally: "Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end; then stop. " And now, I am going to find my chart and do just that. : )
