Get ready to spend the semester in Narnia! In true book club fashion, students will read the assigned chapter(s) beforehand at home (feel free to read the story aloud) and start class ready to discuss their thoughts, reflections, and perspectives. We will spend the rest of the class time studying the characters and bringing the book to life through art, science, and even a little cooking.
