Students will learn to analyze literary characters in a story and identify how they develop and change. They will see the themes of good and evil, and study how decisions can shape our future. Homework is designed to help students understand how Lewis created a unique world and how it can relate to ours. 

Hello! I hope to see you in my classroom! I have a degree in secondary education and have enjoyed teaching first and second grade, and high school English in a private school. For the last 8 years, I have homeschooled my own children. We have grown to love reading together and discussing good books. These books, especially, have been favorites of ours as we have studied and discussed the characters, themes, and exceptional humanity Lewis created in his special world, "Narnia." So, just as I have with my classroom students and my own children at home, we will learn together, have open discussions, and leave each class with a positive learning experience.
Thank you!
