Upper grade and middle school writers study the art of parody. In this language arts lesson, learners study the work of Lewis Carroll, read and discuss parodies from the book, Alice in Wonderland, and construct their own parody based on a well-known nursery rhyme or children's song. Two excellent worksheets are embedded in this plan to help you implement it. A fine language arts lesson!
