Today’s Agenda:

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (The children enter Narnia by several different ways in the series.)
The Wizard of Oz  ("Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore.")
What others can you think of?   
Here are a few more: Going into Another World

2. Read-Aloud from Alice in Wonderland 

3.  Read the first chapter of Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins 

4.  Prepare to write a story about falling (or otherwise entering) an Underland of your own creation! 
     Use your composition books for your sketches and writing.   

5. If you have time, get started writing your story. 

Here is the rubric for the story:  Underland Rubric.doc
