The Wizard of Oz Post

So, you read the book, saw the docudrama about the author, and saw the famous MGM movie.  Now it is time to write a really thoughtful post about all of this.  This post will give your opinion about something related to the book.  Here are some possibilities:

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. Next state your decision: is it a good adaptation or not?
  3. Give three reasons using specific examples from the book and movie. Consider the settings, the characters, what was left out, and what was added.
  4. End your post with a conclusion (that restates in new words your beginning)
Is The Wizard of Oz a better book than Alice in Wonderland?
  1. Give your readers an introduction and some background about your reading of both books.
  2. Next state your decision: I think ____ is better than ____ because____
  3. Give three reasons using specific examples from the books. Consider the settings, the characters, the writing, etc.
  4. End your post with a conclusion (that restates in new words your beginning)
Come up with another idea and check with Ms. Edinger for her approval first.
