  1. March 14, 2014 Opening • Read “Jabberwocky” silently • Mark any sound devices (onomatopoeia, rhyme scheme, repetition, alliteration) that you come across along the way. • Indicate any words that you don’t understand as you go – make an attempt to figure out what they mean. • After reading, talk with your table groups. Any good ideas?

  2. Reading Aloud • Questions? • Listen very carefully to the reading. Does the reader’s delivery give any clues as to what these words mean? • Take down possible definitions as they come to you while listening. The WHOLE sheet is yours to doodle on, so don’t be afraid of changing your answers!

  3. Work Session • View the Muppets’ presentation of “Jabberwocky.” Make use of the visual cues the video gives to help with your definitions. • Finish the definitions, then complete the short-answer section at the bottom of the handout. • You mayquietly confer with your peers during this process – giving words their meaning is a social practice, after all! • BUT!!!! Remember that this handout is due at the end of class.

  4. THE OFFICIAL DEFINITIONSFrom Lewis Carroll Himself! Brillig- (derived from the verb to bryl or broil). The time of broiling dinner, i.e., the close of the afternoon. Slithy- (compounded of slimy and lithe). Smooth and active. The proper pronounciation for the word, slithy is slithy with a long “i” (such as in lithe). Tove - Tove, a species of badger. They had smooth white hair, long hind legs, and short horns like a stag; lived chiefly on cheese. “Toves” should be pronounced to rhyme with “groves”. Gyre - verb (derived from gyaour or giaour, ‘a dog’). To scratch like a dog in gyrating fashion Gimble - To screw out holes in anything. Wabe - (derived from the verb to swab or soak). The side of a hill (from its being soaked by the rain.) Mimsy - (whence mimserable and miserable.) Flimsy and miserable Borogove - A thin shabby-looking bird with its feathers sticking out all round — something like a live mop. Now Extinct. Mome– Maybe something like home? Rath - A rath is a sort of green pig. Outgrabe - something between bellowing and whistling, with a kind of sneeze in the middle.
