Jabberwocky
In storyLines this past term Year 7s had a chance to share this interesting visual interpretation of Lewis Carroll’s Jabberwocky. Illustrator Stéphane Jorisch received a coveted Canadian Governor General’s Award for this book in 2004.
The poem was was first published in Carroll’s Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There in 1872. But just what does it mean? In storyLines classes we heard a variety of ideas from students and teachers. Stéphane Jorisch immersed himself in the words before coming up with his interpretation.
