Amothersrandomthoughts.com Copyright 2018\u00a0 Introduction to Homeschooling with Disney’s Pinocchio Movie.\u00a0<\/em>Read these notes and overview before beginning to study Pinocchio. This Introduction to Homeschooling with Disney’s Pinocchio Movie is designed to give you a clear understanding of the differences between the movie and the Carlo Collodi book by the same name. Furthermore, it is also an outline of what to expect during <\/span>the next two weeks as we study Pinocchio. It is designed to be used with Elements of Fun Learning Curriculum found here!<\/a> Enjoy!<\/span><\/p>\n There are some differences between the movie and the story. Some of the obvious differences are as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n (These basic notes are included with additional suggestions for learning activities)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Suggestions: For Two Weeks: During week one if there is any work you haven\u2019t finished, continue on into week two. I have additional book suggestions if you need more work for week 2. During week 2 work on planning An Italian Feast, costumes, and catching up on any work that you fell behind. Additionally, use week 2 for Field Trip <\/strong>activities.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n This movie may be scary for some children. My youngest son will not watch any version of Pinocchio. I am not sure why as there are not witches, evil queen’s, etc. Pinocchio’s behavior is foolish and he does not listen, but overall these are great teaching moments, and there are consequences for Pinocchio’s actions.<\/span><\/p>\n This week will include a study of Italy. The setting of Pinocchio is believed to be a Tuscan Village in Italy circa 1880’s.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n ADDITIONAL STUDY:<\/span><\/p>\n Beginners and Intermediates will study Crickets and stars (When You Wish Upon a Star). While Advanced will study Astronomy.<\/span><\/p>\n All ages should read a version of the original story by Carlo Collodi. There are gentler versions available for younger children. I have those listed in the Appendix. I would advise that you look at the above notes and see the harsher elements of the original version before having your child read the full version.<\/span><\/p>\n BEGINNER, INTERMEDIATE AND ADVANCED:<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n For Pinocchio, we will be studying the dangers of smoking and drinking.<\/span><\/p>\n BEGINNER, INTERMEDIATE AND ADVANCED ADDITIONAL STUDY:<\/span><\/p>\n Disney Bounding is wearing clothes that are considered streetwear. These non-costume outfits embrace the essence of a character. Have your child create an outfit using \u201creal clothes\u201d from their closet, thrift store, or retail store to model the colors, look and feel of Pinocchio, Jiminy Cricket, Geppetto, The Blue Fairy. Give your child a budget to create this outfit. After reading this introduction, proceed to the Schedule for the next two weeks found here! (Pinocchio is week 9-10).<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n
