What educators are saying
Description
C.S. Lewis's The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is a perfect novel study for analyzing story elements, characters and theme! Even if your students have seen this great Narnia movie or read the book, they are sure to gain a deeper understanding with this novel unit! Since it's LOW PREP that's just icing on the cake for you!
Unit Includes
1. The Scope and Sequence of lessons
(runs for 23 days - suggestions given to modify to shorten the length if needed)
2. Standards and Projects page
3. Student pages with directions (PDF version AND links to Google Slides version)
- Directions are written for your students to make this novel EASY to use in a digital/remote learning environment, but they can easily be your own lesson plans

Teacher Testimonials
This book study had all the components I was looking for and kept my students engaged. The graphic organizers helped with the lower ones, but the question style was advanced enough that my higher students still had to think. Overall, a great resource. - Suzanne B.
This resource is very extensive and has a lot of elements I found very valuable. I was able to get Reading and Writing assignments from this resource, which I loved. Some of my kids absolutely loved the Instagram project. I loved the writing prompts. I usually set a timer and had them respond within that time frame. Loved the story elements components and the self grading forms! - Jennifer C.
Great resource. Loved the digital comprehension questions. It was a great tool to use to check in on students comprehension and held them accountable while working remotely. - Gina V.
