Club de lectura de Narnia: ,El príncipe Caspian, de CS Lewis

C. S. Lewis' enduring and perennially popular classic, 'Prince Caspian', takes us back into the enchanted world of Narnia with Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy Pevensie. As in 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe', the Pevensie children have a vital mission to restore all to rights, but this time, they are ancient kings and queens from the distant past, for many centuries have passed in Narnia, while only one year has passed in their own lives.

In this six-week course, we will enjoy and appreciate Lewis' exciting and inspiring storytelling skills through a mixture of class discussion and writing activities, as well as plenty of quick quizzes to help the knowledge stick and build confidence.

Between classes, students will read a section of the novel, which will be reviewed in each class. We will then focus on key moments which illustrate the great themes of courage, mission, sacrifice and honour which C. S. Lewis brings to life so vividly for young readers.
