Dorothy is a small town girl from Kansas whose day gets interesting after a tornado picks her and her dog, Toto, up and deposits them in a town she is unfamiliar with, known as Munchkin Land. In her adventure she meets a talking scarecrow, a talking tin man, and a talking lion. In her attempt to get home from Munchkin Land, Dorothy and her new found friends must go to the Emerald City to meet the Wizard of Oz. The story describes all the adventures she endures and her finale adventure home.
After reading this story I would have my students write a story similar to The Wizard of Oz. I would give them the prompt, "Consider your at your house taking a nap when all of the sudden you hear it storming terribly outside. All of the sudden you feel your house lift from the ground and it beings spinning out of control! You can't figure out what is going on until...PLOP. You're house has finally sat back down, but when you look outside your window, you can not believe what you see..."
