Support with Text Evidence

In this activity, students will be provided a question or prompt to answer using textual evidence. The prompt here is: “What challenges does Alice face and how does she overcome them?”

What challenges does Alice face?

• Alice becomes so tall that when she looks down all can see are the tops of trees.
• Alice becomes frustrated with the March Hare and the Hatter's rudeness.
• Alice is extremely bored and doesn't even want to collect daisies.
• The Queen of Hearts yells, "Off with her head!"

How does she overcome them?

• Alice remembers that she has mushroom in her hand so she takes another bite to shrink.
• Alice leaves the tea party ignoring the Hare and the Hatter.
• Alice falls asleep and lets her imagination take her on wild adventures.
• Alice yells, "Nonsense!" in return, which silenced the Queen.
