ABSTRACT

In The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy and her companions embarked on a journey to a faraway land to retrieve the broom of the Wicked Witch of the West in order to satisfy a challenge imposed by the Wizard (Baum, 1900). Dorothy thought achieving this task was required in order to accomplish her goal of returning home to Kansas. In her expedition to retrieve the broom, her small group engaged in numerous challenges where they needed to demonstrate cooperation, communication, patience, kindness, and decision making to be successful.
