Was the MGM movie a good adaptation of the book by L. Frank Baum?
1. Give your readers an introduction and some background about reading the book and seeing the movie.
2. State your decision: is it a good adaptation or not?
3. Give three reasons.
For example (negative): The characters are not like those in the book. Alice is way too old in the Disney version of Alice and Wonderland.
For example (positive): Some of the poetry in the book is done very well in the movie.
Consider the settings, the characters, what was left out, and what was added.
4. End your post with a conclusion.
Yesterday was the annual Edinger House Tea Party and it was great fun as always. The day before, parent Natasha Schlesinger came in and provide an amazing assortment of materials with which the children decorated the hats that they wore proudly at the tea party.
Class parents, Diana Milich and Karen Rogala, did a fantastic job decorating the room,
the students brought yummy treats (lovingly prepared and decorated appropriately with much help from family members and care givers),
recited with gusto poems from the two Alice books,
and played a few rounds of “Pin the Tail on the Cheshire Cat.”
A great time was had by all!

I encourage you to add more words to your own list that you find interesting, or to share words that you are not sure what part of speech they are. Then as a class, we can continue to discuss them together. Mr. Peters
