SUGGESTIONS FOR STUDY
NOTE TO THE TEACHEB:
The motion picture Pinocchio offers manifold possibilities for the introduction of integrated projects involving many elementary and secondary subjects. There come to mind at once oral and written composition in many forms, spelling, study of other lands, drawing, and handwork. There are excel

The following questions and suggested activities are merely indications of many possible classroom uses of Pinocchio.
