Jabberwocky and Context Clues

🔒 This is just a preview! Byrdseed.TV opens for new memberships on July 1st. Join the wait list to get more information.

Using Lewis Carroll’s poem Jabberwocky, students will try to infer the parts of speech and meanings of nonsense words. Then they can try their hand at their own nonsense poems.

Context clues lessons can be a disaster. Here, we expose students to a delightful classic packed with nonsense words ("Jabberwocky") and ask them to decipher the meanings and parts of speech. Then, it's only natural for students to write their own nonsense poems.
