[LIT] The Wizard

[TLP]

I was thinking about teaching the elements of fiction with glaringly
obvious examples. I figured nothing was better than The Wizard of Oz.
I was surprised when I surveyed the class and I had a bunch of kids
who have never seen or read it! It's been so long...should I read the
Frank Baum version or watch the movie. I am leaning toward the movie
because of time constraints but I don't want to miss the unique
writing of  Baum. Perhaps excerpts with the film? Additionally, I have
a gifted student who has recently read Wicked...perhaps she could do a
compare and contrast...What do you think?
