Class Experience

This class will do a character analysis of three essential characters from "The Wizard of Oz." Those characters are the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion.  We will focus on how the characters develop throughout the story from the beginning to the end.  We will look at the internal and external conflicts the characters faced and seek to answer the question of how they found what they were looking for by the end. 

There will be an in class creative writing project where students can enjoy a bit of self-reflection, pondering and writing about what they would travel to the Land of Oz to ask the wizard for.  Students will be invited to share their exciting and creative insights with the class.
