Why Oz works so well as a one-week classic
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is naturally episodic: Dorothy meets companions, faces escalating challenges, and learns what “home” really means. A 5-part structure lets you keep daily pacing tight while building real comprehension and theme discussion.
- Predictable pacing: one part per day for five days.
- High engagement: clear goals, memorable characters, frequent turning points.
- Classroom-ready access: students read online without logins.
