Synop si s
In the bleak landscape of a farm in Kansas, a lovely girl called Dorothy
lives with her Uncle Henry and Auntie Emma.
One day, a tornado sweeps the girl away, along with her house, to a
faraway place. The house falls onto the Wicked Witch of the East. As
Dorothy is eager to return home, Glinda the Good Witch tells her that only
the wise Wizard of Oz is able to get her back to her farm. On her way to
meet the Wizard she meets a brainless scarecrow, a tin-man who hasnt
got a heart and a cowardly lion. Together, with their different needs, they
set off along the yellow brick road to see the Wizard of Oz in Emerald City
But ... How will the story continue? Will the Wizard satisfy their needs?
Will all their wishes come true?
Moral
We are never given a wish without also being given
the power to make it true.

Activities
For teachers:
This workpack is divided into different levels, taking into account learners
age and language level.
As you may notice, the same play may cater for an ample age range. This
is due to an important innovation meant to suit different students needs and
interests. This means that while different age groups may be viewing the same
play the various pre and post language activities in the workpack attend to
a different level.
Teachers are thus able to provide students with details about the story
and the characters before they go to the theatre, and also with follow-up
activities after the play.
Wizard of Oz is suitable for students whose level of English is equivalent to
A1 on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.

communicative and creative skills.

PROYECT WORK
PROJECT WORK can be assigned based on several themes:
ANIMALS
The lion in the story is cowardly, which
challenges the notion of the lion as a brave animal.
Cats have nine lives, dogs are faithful, elephants have good memory, etc. Kids
can make
up a story based on, for example, a forgetful
elephant.
BODY LANGUAGE
Ask kids to think how the Tin Man, the
Lion and the Scarecrow walk and move. Let them practise
their walks. This will provide an
opportunity to learn new vocabulary and
to enhance motivation and interest.
THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD
Use a large piece of yellow paper and cut out bricks on it. Distribute the
bricks among your students. Ask each child to write his or her name in one of
the bricks or draw a picture of a favorite character from the story. Hang the
different parts on the wall in a yellow brick road pattern.

ONE HEART
TINMAN
Sometimes I think of what it was
Sometimes I think of what would be.
If I had a heart like the one I lost
I could love again like I loved before.
I just, I just want
One heart, one heart
I just want to have a heart
No matter what its made of
I dont want to be
Without one
One heart, one heart
I just want to have a heart
It dont care
What its made of
If it holds
If it holds
Lots of love
Sometimes I think of yesterday
I cried when I listened to a bird sing
I was moved by so many things
Because I had a heart
And I could feel
