Charlie and I will be studying a classic movie I love The Wizard of Oz and to begin the week we will be watching the movie. Then Charlie will write up a report about Tornado’s and what would happen if one picked up Charlie.
Wizard of Oz: 75th Anniversary (DVD)
Wizard of Oz: 75th Anniversary (DVD)
In this classic musical fantasy, Judy Garland stars as Dorothy Gale, a young Kansas farm girl who dreams of a land “somewhere over the rainbow.” Dorothy’s dream comes true when she, her dog, Toto, and her family’s house are transported by a tornado to a bright and magical world unlike anything she has seen before. Unfortunately, she makes a mortal enemy of a wicked witch when the house falls on the hag’s sister.
Now, befriended by a scarecrow without a brain, a tin man with no heart and a cowardly lion–and protected by a pair of enchanted ruby slippers–Dorothy sets off along a yellow brick road for the Emerald City to beseech the all-powerful Wizard of Oz for his help to return home.
Charlie will have to share where his house is sat down at and what the Town is like. As well as the people he meets and what he does when he is in the new town.
Charlie will go over how he get back home and what people think of his story and why. Charlie will draw pictures of what he faced while up in the air.
I found these two metal signs when we was at Traders Village and Charlie will chose one of these to recreate in our Art class. Charlie can change anything he wants to make it more modern and up to date to hang in our office/ schoolroom.
For spelling:
Toto, Dorthey, Kansas The Cowardly Lion, The Scarecrow, Glenda the Good Witch, Red Slippers, Cyclone, flying, house
