includedClass Experience
This is a 6 week class where the students will read through chapters of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Horse and His Boy each week. Each class we will be discussing the chapters we read, going over vocabulary for the chapters and answering discussion questions. Every student will need a copy of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Horse and His Boy by C.S. Lewis and each week they will need to read the chapters before the next class. Students are expected to actively participate during class and with the assigned reading and vocabulary each week. We will review the chapters we read before and prep with vocabulary and pre reading questions for the next chapters.
Learning Goals
Students will learn to establish and share their own thoughts while reading a book. We will be looking at new vocabulary for each of the chapters. Discussing what we think about what has happened, is happening and will happen as we move through the book.

Parental Guidance
During the Golden Age of Narnia, a boy called Shasta lives in Narnia’s neighboring country of Calormen. Shasta is the son of Arsheesh the fisherman, but when a Tarkaan lord of Calormen comes to stay at their hut, Shasta overhears their conversation and discovers that he was adopted. He also learns that Arsheesh is planning to sell him as a slave to the Tarkaan. The Tarkaan’s horse, Bree, is a talking horse from Narnia, and he and Shasta decide to make their escape from both of their masters. Aravis gives her servant drugged wine to put her to sleep. Shasta is given wine to drink with his meal. Calormene law keepers arrest Prince Corin. He buys them wine to pacify them. Corin escapes from the law keepers after they have passed out from drinking. Aravis decides to commit suicide by stabbing herself in the heart, so she won’t have to marry an ugly, immoral old man. Hwin stops Aravis before she can hurt herself. This class is taught literary analysis and not allegory.
