納尼亞讀書俱樂部：魔術師的侄子

The Magician's Nephew is the amazing prequel of the Chronicles of Narnia. In this four-week class, learners will participate in meaningful discussions and engaging activities as we read C. S. Lewis' classic novel. 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. I suggest that students first read the first four books in the series, The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe, Prince Caspian, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, and The Silver Chair. However, this book can be read as a student's first experience with Narnia.

Whether your student is reading the Chronicles of Narnia for the first time 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 a variety of engaging critical thinking activities. 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 setting and a quick review of previous books.

Lesson 2: chapters 5-8
Focus on character contrast and development

Lesson 3: chapters 9-11
Focus on plot and predictions

Lesson 4: chapters 12-15 (finish book) 
Focus on themes developed through the story
