Story Snippet
Q1 Dorothy, Toto and the Scarecrow walk along the yellow brick road. The sun is warm and trees stand proudly on both sides.
Q2 She and Toto eat some bread from the basket. The Scarecrow watches them.
"I do not need food," says the Scarecrow. "Because Q3 I'm never hungry."
"Is your country beautiful?" he asks. "No," Dorothy answers. "Q4 Kansas is a dry, gray place."
"I do not understand," the Scarecrow says. "Q5 This country is very beautiful."
👩🏫 Teacher Interaction Questions
Teacher Prompt:
"Who is walking with Dorothy? What are they eating from the basket?"
Suggested Answer:
Dorothy, Toto, and the Scarecrow are walking together. Dorothy and Toto eat bread from her basket.
Teacher Prompt:
"Why does the Scarecrow say he does not need food?"
Suggested Answer:
He is made of straw and stuffed, so he doesn't have a human body, and therefore is never hungry.
Teacher Prompt:
"How does Dorothy describe Kansas? Why is the Scarecrow confused?"
Suggested Answer:
Dorothy says Kansas is dry and gray. The Scarecrow is confused because he cannot understand why she wants to go back to dry, gray Kansas when this country is so beautiful.
