The Emerald City of Oz is the sixth of L. Frank Baum’s fourteen Land of Oz books. It was also adapted into a Canadian animated film in 1987. Originally published on July 20, 1910, it is the story of Dorothy Gale and her Uncle Henry and Aunt Em coming to live in Oz permanently. While they are toured through the Quadling Country, the Nome King is assembling allies for an invasion of Oz. This is the first time in the Oz series that Baum made use of double plots for one of the books.
Plot: At the beginning of this story, it is made quite clear that Dorothy Gale (the primary protagonist of many of the previous Oz books), is in the habit of freely speaking of her many adventures in the Land of Oz to her only living relatives, her Aunt Em and Uncle Henry. Neither of them believes a word of her stories, but consider her a dreamer, as her dead mother had been. She is undeterred.
Later, it is revealed that the destruction of their farmhouse by the tornado back in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz has left Uncle Henry in terrible debt. In order to pay it, he has taken out a mortgage on his farm. If he cannot repay his creditors, they will seize the farm, thus leaving Henry and his family homeless. He is not too afraid for himself, but both he and his wife, Aunt Em, fear very much for their niece’s future. Upon learning this, Dorothy quickly arranges with Princess Ozma to let her bring her guardians to Oz where they will be very happier and forever safe. Using the Magic Belt (a tool captured from the jealous Nome King Roquat), Ozma transports them to her throne room. They are given rooms to live in and luxuries to enjoy, including a vast and complex wardrobe. They meet with many of Dorothy’s animal friends, including the Cowardly Lion and Billina the Yellow Hen.
In the underground Nome Kingdom, the Nome King Roquat is plotting to conquer the Land of Oz and recover his magic belt, which Dorothy took from him in Ozma of Oz. After ordering the expulsion of his General (who will not agree to such an attack) and the death of his Colonel (who also refuses), King Roquat holds counsel with a veteran soldier called Guph. Guph believes that against the many magicians of Oz (the reputation of which has grown in the telling), the Nome Army has no chance alone. He therefore sets out personally to recruit allies.
Dorothy, accompanied by the Wizard of Oz and several other friends, departs the Emerald City in a carriage drawn by the Wooden Sawhorse, intending to give her aunt and uncle a tour of the land.

Stop the “I don’t know what to write about!” struggle before it starts. This daily writing prompts resource provides a seamless solution for developing consistent writing habits, critical thinking skills, and creative expression for students in 4th – 12th Grade. Whether it’s a deep dive into facts and history or a light-hearted reflection, this month’s prompts ensure your students have a meaningful reason to put pen to paper every single day.
What’s Included?
This isn’t just a list of sentences; it is a complete journaling system. Each month is packed with:
- Individual Journal Pages: A unique, dedicated page for every day of the month.
- Diverse Prompt Styles: A balanced mix of “light and fun” topics and “deep-dive” prompts that challenge students to think critically about values, history, and social issues.
Here are two examples:
March 3rd – (Star Spangled Banner became the U.S. national anthem)
The Star Spangled Banner was written during the Revolution, but it didn’t become the national anthem until 1931. Some people think that it’s a great anthem. Other people think that it isn’t. What do you think? If we were to change the national anthem, what would you want to have instead? Or would you not want to change it, no matter what?March 24th – (Tuberculosis bacillus discovered)
In 1882, a German scientist named Robert Koch isolated the bacillus that cased tuberculosis. Tuberculosis still kills about two million people annually worldwide. However, this discovery enabled scientist to fight this disease, which can be vaccinated against, and cured. If you could cure one disease, what would it be? Why would you choose to cure that disease?How to implement it:
- Daily Starts: Start your morning or English period with a 10-minute quiet writing session.
- Fast-Finisher Activity: Keep your “early birds” engaged with a meaningful task that doesn’t feel like “busy work.”
- Homeschool Portfolios: Use these daily entries to track progress in handwriting, grammar, and expressive thought throughout the year.
- Digital or Print: These pages are designed to be “print-and-go” ready, but they also work beautifully as digital assignments. Simply give them to your student(s) and allow them to create a word document for each. First, have them copy (type) the prompt. Then answer it! Print and place in a growing 3 ring-binder of work.

Whether it is an election year or not, if you are studying the U.S. Electoral College, this is a great resource for your classroom.
Suggestions for Use:
* If it is an election year, you can assign it for students to complete on election night.
* Not an election year? You can still use it! Simply assign students to complete the assignment for a specific presidential election.
* Study a variety of past presidential elections in U.S. History and how the electoral college voted! This would be a wonderful cooperative groups activity where each group completed (and reported their findings) on a different election. -
