Concepts:
Character Traits, Moral Perspective, Comparative Analysis, Themes, Symbolism, Adaptation, Narrative Voice, Identity, Perception vs. Reality
Classroom Applications:
Students explore how characters like Dorothy, Elphaba, Glinda, and the Wizard evolve across books, films, and musicals. Using the Oz Character Chart (pages 1–4) and character analyses (pages 5–32), students compare portrayals across mediums.
Activities include comparing themes from the Comparative Study Guide—such as identity, power, and morality—and completing structured worksheets with quote reflections, theme analysis, and creative extensions like designing an Oz-inspired character or writing crossover scenes (Worksheet pp. 1–2).
Students study how adaptations reinterpret “good” and “wicked,” how medium affects tone (film vs. novel vs. stage), and how themes shift from innocence (Oz) to political allegory (Wicked).
Standards Alignment:
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.7.3 – Analyze how particular elements of a story interact (e.g., character vs. setting, character transformation across texts).
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.6.9 – Compare and contrast texts in different forms or genres.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.7.6 – Determine an author’s point of view and how it is conveyed.

The packet also encourages creativity with a “create your own Mario world” drawing activity, allowing students to design their own level with platforms, coins, and characters. Perfect for movie days, literacy centers, early finishers, or themed lessons, this resource keeps young learners engaged while reinforcing key academic and SEL skills.
