"But I don't want to go among mad people,"  Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: 
"We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

Alternative assignment for digital essay: 

If you have hit major roadblock for completing the digital essay, here are several alternatives:

  1. Instead of using moviemaker use PowerPoint
  2. No technology working!  Create a storyboard, similar to the ones we did for summer reading; however, instead of drawing or "texting out" images, use the images you have collected to complete your digital story.
