Listen to the story narration:
👩🏫 Teacher Interaction Q&A
"Why did Dorothy pick up Toto? What do you think 'something strange' is?"
💡 Suggested Answer:
Dorothy picks up Toto to make sure he stays safe before going down into the cellar. The 'strange thing' is the wind picking up the entire house!
"Can you imagine the house flying? How would you feel if you were alone in the sky?"
💡 Suggested Answer:
Dorothy might feel terrified at first, but having Toto makes her brave. The sky is dark, and the wind is roaring all around!
"Everything is quiet. What does Dorothy see when she opens the door?"
💡 Suggested Answer:
Dorothy opens the door to see a sunny day, beautiful tall green trees, and colorful flowers she has never seen in gray Kansas.
Have students describe the difference between gray Kansas and the colourful Land of Oz using their own descriptive words.
