Learning IDIOMS in our Book Club: The Wonderful Wizard of OZ: "We are not in Kansas anymore"

An idiom is a phrase that has a figurative meaning that is not easily deduced from its literal definition. In addition to enjoy reading and learning vocabulary and inferring grammar, understanding the importance of context, our students must understand some figurative language of idiomatic phrases like the one we have examined the meaning and interesting origin of: "We’re not in Kansas anymore".

Remember with idioms it happens the same as with vocabulary: new vocabulary, you use it or you lose it so they have contextualised some examples of its use in sentences they've produced. Here are some samples of the students final products:
