The Wizard of Oz

We are finishing up reading the story of the Wonderful Wizard of Oz and watched the movie this week in class. The children noticed many differences and similarities. Did you know that Dorothy's shoes in the book are actually silver and not red? The movie also left out a lot of the book too, like the complete story of the flying monkeys, the china dolls, and the hammerheads.

today the students wrote about their noticings in Writing Workshop. I was pleased with their comparisons between the book and the movie.
