I had a small but smart group for Into the Wardrobe. We were truth seekers and critical thinkers as we read through the classic book, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, by C. S. Lewis.
My lesson plans for this class are somewhat shaky, but here they are. They were really just notes for me, but I hope you can glean something from them. I tried to make this class interesting and thought provoking. We listened to the chapters in class; I highly recommend this version (I purchased mine used on Amazon, and we have enjoyed it a zillion times over in our homeschool!).
You'll find the syllabus below. Click on it to read through the class description, target age group, outline of classes, supplies needed, and materials fee.
We discussed the text. We looked up verses and pulled truth out of the book and The Book. We also made clay statues, tried Turkish delight, gobbled up some orange marmalade rolls, assembled lapbooks, and played a statues game.
We added a few mini-books to our lapbooks each week. Here is one student's cover. If you end up with larger lapbooks, you can bind them with
Some lapbook pieces were from Homeschool Share. You can download the others by clicking on the picture below.

we listened to this entire series while traveling this summer. It would be fun to go back and reread with these printables! =0)

What a great lesson plan… I know my son and his class in the fall (4th grade) would love something like this… Maybe I’ll plan it for winter term.

I love this idea for a co – op class! Did you read the chapters to your students, or have them listen to an audio recording of it? Also, would you recommend the students read the chapters before each class session?

We listened to audio recording. We try to keep homework very minimal, so I did not assign anything for home for this class. š

Love the lapbook pages! I will be teaching a class in our co-op during the winter months and hope to use your resource. I just printed the pages though and the font did not come out like the document shows (the fonts are squished and look to be done in ariel, yet they are so pretty on the document). Do you have any idea why this happened?
