Lewis Carrol's JabberWocky?

Question

we have to prepare and present an oral reading of this poem (JabberWocky) any ideas on how to present the poem like prop wise or just nething?

Answer 1

If you have enough time, you could draw the characters (your interpretation) on large pieces of paper, color them, cut them out and glue them on sticks. Like flat puppets. Someone could hold each one up as you read that part of the poem and wave it around (you know what I mean).

Answer 2

Ooooh! That's fun! Bring a fake sword (get permission first), and wear an old fashioned costume, like Robin Hood era. Use netting, to "catch" the Jabberwocky.

Answer 3

It's the perfect poem to present as a short play, you've got a monster, a hero with a sword, and a fight to the death. Create a short play around the duel to the death.

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.

`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

Answer 4

Since its from "through the looking glass", (the second Alice book), dress like Alice in Wonderland!
