Category: Fantasy, Chapter Book
Summary: In C.S. Lewis' classic tale, 4 siblings embark on a journey though a wardrobe into the land of Narnia. In their journey, they encounter a wide variety of personified animals that are victims of the White Witches rein. Edmund fall victim to the temptations of the White Witch and falls on the side of evil. Lucy, Peter and Susan help Asalan, the true king/god of Narnia take down the evil white witch. In the end, the siblings rein over Narnia as adults as Asalan has disappeared.
Classroom Use: I would use this book to talk about temptations with my students - what makes some one decide to go to the "evil" side? Is evil really as bad as good depicts in? After talking about this, students would practice connecting the story to their lives by writing a personal story about time they choose to do the wrong thing, maybe stealing a cookie before dinner, and analyze why they think they made that decision
