Narnia Book Club: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is a classic children's book full of wonder, magic, and adventure. In this four week class, learners will participate in meaningful discussions and engaging activities as we read C. S. Lewis' introductory novel to the world of Narnia. Book clubs are an excellent way to engage reluctant readers or help enthusiastic readers dig a little deeper. Students will need their own copy of the text to complete assigned readings before attending class.

If you don't see a time that works for you or your student is more comfortable with it, I do offer this class in a flex option.

Whether your student has never heard of Narnia or is an enthusiastic fan on their third re-read, this class will be full of fun for all. We will explore the text and it's themes through discussion and reading aloud specific sections of the book. Class will be conducted in a casual, book club style with plenty of time for discussion. 

The reading schedule will be as follows:

Lesson 1: chapters 1-4
Discussion and activities will focus on author and setting: How does WWII affect the children and their actions? 

Lesson 2: chapters 5-8
Focus on character contrast and development: Compare and contrast Peter and Edmund. How does their birth order affect their characters?
