I’m excited to announce that each Monday over the
next 24 weeks; The Wonderful Wizard of Oz Book Unit
will be featured in weekly blog posts. Saving each
lesson for a novel study is a great option. Since
students are so familiar with this well-loved American
classic, most chapters can be stand-alone lessons.
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was originally published
on May 17, 1900, so it is now in public domain. There
is no need to purchase a class set of books because
the complete text will be added to the unit plans.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz By L Frank Baum Chapter 23 - Glinda The Good Witch Grants
Dorothy's Wish
Before they went to see Glinda, however, they were taken to a room of the Castle, where
Dorothy washed her face and combed her hair, and the Lion shook the dust out of his mane,
and the Scarecrow patted himself into his best shape, and the Woodman polished his tin
and oiled his joints.
When they were all quite presentable they followed the soldier girl into a big room where the
Witch Glinda sat upon a throne of rubies.
She was both beautiful and young to their eyes. Her hair was a rich red in color and fell in
flowing ringlets over her shoulders. Her dress was pure white but her eyes were blue, and they
looked kindly upon the little girl.
"What can I do for you, my child?" she asked.
Dorothy told the Witch all her story: how the cyclone had brought her to the Land of Oz, how
she had found her companions, and of the wonderful adventures they had met with.
"My greatest wish now," she added, "is to get back to Kansas, for Aunt Em will surely think
something dreadful has happened to me, and that will make her put on mourning; and
unless the crops are better this year than they were last, I am sure Uncle Henry cannot afford
it."
Glinda leaned forward and kissed the sweet, upturned face of the loving little girl.
"Bless your dear heart," she said, "I am sure I can tell you of a way to get back to Kansas."
Then she added, "But, if I do, you must give me the Golden Cap."
"Willingly!" exclaimed Dorothy; "indeed, it is of no use to me now, and when you have it you
can command the Winged Monkeys three times."
"And I think I shall need their service just those three times," answered Glinda, smiling.
Dorothy then gave her the Golden Cap, and the Witch said to the Scarecrow, "What will you
do when Dorothy has left us?"
"I will return to the Emerald City," he replied, "for Oz has made me its ruler and the people like
me. The only thing that worries me is how to cross the hill of the Hammer-Heads."
"By means of the Golden Cap I shall command the Winged Monkeys to carry you to the
gates of the Emerald City," said Glinda, "for it would be a shame to deprive the people of so
wonderful a ruler."
"Am I really wonderful?" asked the Scarecrow.
"You are unusual," replied Glinda.
~ Chapter 23 - Page 5 © Gay Miller ~
Turning to the Tin Woodman, she asked, "What will become of you when Dorothy leaves this
country?"
He leaned on his axe and thought a moment. Then he said, "The Winkies were very kind to
me, and wanted me to rule over them after the Wicked Witch died. I am fond of the Winkies,
and if I could get back again to the Country of the West, I should like nothing better than to
rule over them forever."
"My second command to the Winged Monkeys," said Glinda "will be that they carry you
safely to the land of the Winkies. Your brain may not be so large to look at as those of the
Scarecrow, but you are really brighter than he is--when you are well polished-- and I am sure
you will rule the Winkies wisely and well."
Then the Witch looked at the big, shaggy Lion and asked, "When Dorothy has returned to her
own home, what will become of you?"
"Over the hill of the Hammer-Heads," he answered, "lies a grand old forest, and all the beasts
that live there have made me their King. If I could only get back to this forest, I would pass
my life very happily there."
"My third command to the Winged Monkeys," said Glinda, "shall be to carry you to your
forest. Then, having used up the powers of the Golden Cap, I shall give it to the King of the
Monkeys, that he and his band may thereafter be free for evermore."
The Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman and the Lion now thanked the Good Witch earnestly
for her kindness; and Dorothy exclaimed:
"You are certainly as good as you are beautiful! But you have not yet told me how to get
back to Kansas."
"Your Silver Shoes will carry you over the desert," replied Glinda. "If you had known their
power you could have gone back to your Aunt Em the very first day you came to this
country."
"But then I should not have had my wonderful brains!" cried the Scarecrow. "I might have
passed my whole life in the farmer's cornfield."
"And I should not have had my lovely heart," said the Tin Woodman. "I might have stood and
rusted in the forest till the end of the world."
"And I should have lived a coward forever," declared the Lion, "and no beast in all the forest
would have had a good word to say to me."
"This is all true," said Dorothy, "and I am glad I was of use to these good friends. But now that
each of them has had what he most desired, and each is happy in having a kingdom to rule
besides, I think I should like to go back to Kansas."
"The Silver Shoes," said the Good Witch, "have wonderful powers. And one of the most
curious things about them is that they can carry you to any place in the world in three steps,
~ Chapter 23 - Page 6 © Gay Miller ~
and each step will be made in the wink of an eye. All you have to do is to knock the heels
together three times and command the shoes to carry you wherever you wish to go."
"If that is so," said the child joyfully, "I will ask them to carry me back to Kansas at once."
She threw her arms around the Lion's neck and kissed him, patting his big head tenderly.
Then she kissed the Tin Woodman, who was weeping in a way most dangerous to his joints.
But she hugged the soft, stuffed body of the Scarecrow in her arms instead of kissing his
painted face, and found she was crying herself at this sorrowful parting from her loving
comrades.
Glinda the Good stepped down from her ruby throne to give the little girl a good-bye kiss,
and Dorothy thanked her for all the kindness she had shown to her friends and herself.
Dorothy now took Toto up solemnly in her arms, and having said one last good-bye she
clapped the heels of her shoes together three times, saying:
"Take me home to Aunt Em!"
Instantly she was whirling through the air, so swiftly that all she could see or feel was the wind
whistling past her ears.
The Silver Shoes took but three steps, and then she stopped so suddenly that she rolled over
upon the grass several times before she knew where she was.
At length, however, she sat up and looked about her.
"Good gracious!" she cried.
For she was sitting on the broad Kansas prairie, and just before her was the new farmhouse
Uncle Henry built after the cyclone had carried away the old one. Uncle Henry was milking
the cows in the barnyard, and Toto had jumped out of her arms and was running toward the
barn, barking furiously.
Dorothy stood up and found she was in her stocking-feet. For the Silver Shoes had fallen off in
her flight through the air, and were lost forever in the desert.

6. Why do you think the movie used the line from Chapter 4 “There is no place like home.” instead of the line from Chapter 23 "Take me home to Aunt Em!" in
Dorothy’s departure scene of the movie?
Answers will vary.
The line “There’s no place like home.” can be generalized for many situations, not
just a memorable line from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. These words make people
feel a deep connection to their homes and families.
Here are a few lines from the film that have become part of our culture and are
used often in everyday language. They are also repeated often in other films:
"I'm melting! I'm melting!"
"We're not in Kansas anymore.”
"I'll get you, my pretty. And your little dog too."
"There's no place like home."

7. Read this passage from Chapter 23.
Your brain may not be so large to look at as those of the Scarecrow, but you are
really brighter than he is--when you are well polished-- and I am sure you will rule
the Winkies wisely and well."
Name the type of figurative language that is used. __pun ~ In this case brighter
refers to shiny not intelligence; therefore, the play on words makes this a pun._
What is the most likely reason the author used this type of figurative language in this
passage?
The passage adds humor during a serious moment.
~ Chapter 23 - Page 13 © Gay Miller ~
On the next pages, you will find a “Plot Development” chart
for the book. While this is a great activity, condensing the
book to fit on the chart is difficult. Here is what I suggest for
a solution.
Create an eight page mini book by folding a piece of paper.
Have students write the “Rising Action” portion of the chart
in the mini book and glue it over the “Rising Action” portion
of the chart.
On page 14, you will find instructions for folding the mini
book. On page 15, you will find a printable that includes a
title page, page numbers, and lines for students to write.
If you want to use plain pieces of paper to make the mini
books, just trim about a half inch off the bottom of the
finished books, so that it will not cover the “Exposition”
portion of the chart.
~ Chapter 23 - Page 14 © Gay Miller ~
Instructions for Making the Mini Book Step 1
After cutting around the outside edge,
fold the organizer in half “hotdog” fold
with the words showing.
Step 2
While the organizer is folded, cut off the
dotted line between pages 1 and 4 and the
cover page and page 5. Unfold the organizer
after cutting.
Step 3
Fold the organizer in half
“hamburger” fold with the
lines showing.
When turned on its back, your organizer
should look like this.
Step 5
Refold on the “hotdog” fold from Step 1. At
this stage your organizer should fold into a
book.
Step 4
Fold the left and right sides to the
middle. Your organizer should look like a
fan.
