Following Narnia is a comprehensive class for learning, practicing and fine tuning a wide variety of writing skills. Starting with per-writing and key word outlining this course teaches students to think about a source text and make decisions about what they see as significant information. This process develops thinking, decision making and organization of thoughts. The course goes onto teach formats for a large variety of paragraphs and full essays. The book alternates between report writing and creative writing assignments which helps to keep it interesting for the student. A variety of grammar and literary devices are peppered throughout the course as well as both reinforcing basic skills and introducing new techniques. As the title implies, most of the source texts for this course are related to the first three of the Chronicles of Narnia books as well as history around the time of C.S. Lewis’s life.. The student book can be purchased from Institute for Excellence in Writing or Christian Book Distributors. Students will also need copies of “The Magician’s Nephew”, “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” and “The Horse and His Boy.”
There will be an opportunity to get together and watch one of the movies as a class!
