"My body shone so brightly in the sun that I felt very proud of it and it did not matter now if my axe slipped, for it could not cut me. There was only one danger--that my joints would rust; but I kept an oil-can in my cottage and took care to oil myself whenever I needed it. However, there came a day when I forgot to do this, and, being caught in a rainstorm, before I thought of the danger my joints had rusted, and I was left to stand in the woods until you came to help me. It was a terrible thing to undergo, but during the year I stood there I had time to think that the greatest loss I had known was the loss of my heart. While I was in love I was the happiest man on earth; but no one can love who has not a heart, and so I am resolved to ask Oz to give me one. If he does, I will go back to the Munchkin maiden and marry her."
It was a terrible thing to undergo, but during the year I stood there I had time to think that the greatest loss I had known was the loss of my heart. For example, a group studying Japan picked a region that they thought would be best for the Wicked Witch because it s dry and she melts in the rain , but it s also at risk for a tsunami.
One swipe of the shadow delivers vibrant color payoff, which can be intensified for a more dramatic look. The packaging of the palette is sleek and stylish, with a large mirror that is perfect for on-the-go touch-ups. Overall, the Uoma Black Magic Color Palette is a must-have for any makeup enthusiast looking to add a pop of color to their eye looks.
Educator Spotlight: Finding a Home for the Wicked Witch
Students worked in groups of four to explore potential countries where the Wicked Witch of the West could live, looking at the how the climate and resources would affect her. The idea of using the Wicked Witch stemmed from a conversation with an educator many years ago. In developing my own project, I found that it was a way to blend nonfiction with fiction to be a different type of hook for students. They were thinking critically about the needs of this bizarre character while learning about culture, exploring traditions, and gaining a better appreciation for the world around them.
We started with a traditional topographic map of the Swiss Alps and built from there, using National Geographic’s MapMaker Interactive on a daily basis. As students manipulated the tool, they developed confidence in describing features of the map, and they respectfully discussed their research with each other. We were able to use an augmented reality sandbox, and students used Legos to create actual buildings. They saw how the different geographical pieces helped them better understand a country as a whole.
Tell us more about the augmented reality sandbox.
It is a massive box with sand that the students physically manipulate, and the program shows it digitally. Think of a sandbox with a projector on top of it connected to the computer. Students can show where rainfall would happen at different rates and how flooding could occur. They learned how to create their own topographical map and how it could change based on erosion, deforestation, and natural disasters. For example, a group studying Japan picked a region that they thought would be best for the Wicked Witch because it’s dry (and she melts in the rain), but it’s also at risk for a tsunami. They showed what could happen if a tsunami should hit: how a wetland could be destroyed, how the sea level could rise, etc.

Why did you decide to become a teacher?
My original plan was to be a lawyer, but I have found myself continuously wanting to learn. I’m a curious person, and I think that’s what guided me into this position. I hope to not dictate where students go, but instead spark their curiosity, help them find the right direction, and connect them with experts to foster that spark. This isn’t a job. Every day I’m laughing. It’s a new challenge, a new growth.
What advice do you have for teachers wanting to spark curiosity?
We seem to talk a lot about student voice, but how can we truly incorporate it into the learning space? Listen to your students; learn what their interests are and guide them toward their passions to help create curious lifelong learners. Focus on the big ideas as well–ask your students, “Here’s what we need to learn. How can we get there together with your interests in mind?”
My mentors have reminded me to continue showing students that we can learn together. When there is a strong sense of community and inclusion in the learning space, students are often more willing to share their passions and be curious because they are OK with taking educated risks. Create a safe co-learning space, and who knows what could happen!
I think the success of this Wicked Witch project stemmed from these ideas. We learned about the content together, and students were allowed to explore based on their interests. Creativity met inquiry, and that is a learning dream.

The Tin Woodman had asked Dorothy to put the oil-can in her basket. "For," he said, "if I should get caught in the rain, and rust again, I would need the oil-can badly."

Reviews for "Beauty Beyond Borders: Uoma's Black Magic Color Palette Breaking Boundaries"
1. Sarah - ★☆☆☆☆
I was really disappointed with the Uoma Black Magic Color Palette. The colors looked vibrant and pigmented in the pan, but when I applied them to my eyelids, they were dull and lacked intensity. The formula also felt chalky and didn't blend well. I tried using different brushes and applying the shadows wet, but nothing seemed to improve the performance. Overall, I expected much more from this palette and definitely won't be repurchasing.
2. Chloe - ★★☆☆☆
The Uoma Black Magic Color Palette didn't live up to the hype for me. While the packaging is beautiful and the shade range looks amazing, the formula fell short. The shadows were patchy and had a lot of fallout, which made it difficult to create a precise eye look. Additionally, some of the shades, particularly the shimmers, lacked pigmentation and didn't pop on the lids. I really wanted to love this palette, but unfortunately, it just didn't deliver the quality I expected.
3. Emily - ★★☆☆☆
I had high hopes for the Uoma Black Magic Color Palette, but it didn't work well for me. The mattes were a bit dry and difficult to blend, and I struggled to build up the intensity. The shimmers, on the other hand, were too soft and had a tendency to crumble when applied with a brush. The shade range is beautiful, but the formula needs some improvement. While it might work for someone with a different eye shape or skin type, it just didn't work for me personally.
