SUMMARY:The Lion\, the Witch\, and the Wardrobe
DESCRIPTION:The Lion\, the Witch\, and the Wardrobe\n\n\n\nby C.S. Lewis \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDates\n\n\n\nWednesdays\, February 17\, 24; March 3\, 10 \n\n\n\n\n\nTime\n\n\n\n5:00 – 5:45 PM Eastern (4:00 Central\, 3:00 Mountain\, 2:00 Pacific) \n\n\n\n\n\nPrice\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSign Up\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nJoin Now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat if you could travel to a whole new world just by hiding in a wardrobe? When Lucy Pevensie\, the youngest of four siblings living in war-torn England\, accidentally finds herself tumbling through her uncle’s wardrobe\, she is drawn into the magical wood and meets a new friend\, Tumnus. On returning home\, Lucy’s three siblings don’t believe her at first\, but they all end up traveling with her to Narnia to meet Mr. Tumnus—only to discover that he has been arrested for helping Lucy.  \n\n\n\nThe Pevensies find themselves in the middle of quite an adventure in the land of Narnia—a magical world with talking animal where it’s always winter\, but never Christmas. Can the Pevensies help Tumnus? Or will they be swayed by other forces in Narnia\, like the White Witch\, with struggles that teeter between choosing right from wrong? \n\n\n\nJoin this club to read the children’s classic fantasy\, The Lion\, the Witch and the Wardrobe—where you’ll follow along with the Pevensies as they explore Narnia\, meet the lion Aslan\, and fight the White Witch. You and your Literary Guide\, Ms. Schuett\, will analyze the imagery\, themes\, and conflicts within the story. \n\n\n\nWhat Makes This Special\n\n\n\nIt’s a Classic. The Lion\, the Witch\, and the Wardrobe is the most popular book in the Chronicles of Narnia. The first published book in the series\, it is the second book in the Narnia series’ chronological order (which is the common order to read the books now).  \n\n\n\nYour Guide is a teacher who has guided students through the Narnia series before! As a C.S. Lewis enthusiast\, and teacher to children who has a terminal degree in storytelling\, Ms. Schuett loves to be a guide for the stories she loves! When you sign up for this club\, you get a professional\, highly skilled Guide who helps your student develop a love for reading while learning how to dig deeper into story.  \n\n\n\n\n\nYour Guide\n\n\n\n\n\nMs. Anna Schuett is a professional writer and teacher with Bachelor of Arts (BA) in English degree from Concordia University (with an emphasis in Creative Writing) and a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing\, Genre Fiction (MFA\, terminal degree) from Western Colorado University.  \n\n\n\nWhile studying for her MFA\, Ms. Schuett was an elementary school Para-Educator and Librarian/Technology Assistant. Spending a great amount of time with students who struggled with their studies\, Ms. Schuett found a love for helping students learn and grow. \n\n\n\nMs. Schuett currently works as an I.T. Coordinator for Physical\, Occupational and Speech Therapy clinics across the state of Nebraska and also designs and maintains her church’s website. Because of a love of working with students\, she is excited to be in her role as an Instructor Access Instructor with Aquinas Writing Advantage. \n\n\n\nBorn\, raised\, and living in Nebraska\, USA\, Ms. Schuett enjoys reading\, quilting\, baking\, and writing epic fantasy novels—all with a cup of coffee or tea within arm’s reach. You can reach Ms. Schuett at akschuett91@gmail.com. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Book\n\n\n\nISBN-10 : 9780064404990ISBN-13 : 978-0064404990Buy from Bookshop.org\n\n\n\n(From Amazon) Four adventurous siblings—Peter\, Susan\, Edmund\, and Lucy Pevensie—step through a wardrobe door and into the land of Narnia\, a land frozen in eternal winter and enslaved by the power of the White Witch. But when almost all hope is lost\, the return of the Great Lion\, Aslan\, signals a great change . . . and a great sacrifice. \n\n\n\nOpen the door and enter a new world! The Lion\, the Witch and the Wardrobe is the second book in C. S. Lewis’s classic fantasy series\, which has been captivating readers of all ages with a magical land and unforgettable characters for over sixty years. \n\n\n\nThis is a stand-alone read\, but if you would like to discover more about Narnia\, pick up The Horse and His Boy\, the third book in The Chronicles of Narnia. \n\n\n\n\n\nParental Guidance\n\n\n\nThe Lion\, the Witch\, and the Wardrobe is a children’s classic fantasy that was written by an English scholar and published in 1950\, which means there are some cultural differences and dated concepts. For example\, the Pevensies are sent to live in the country with Professor Kirke to keep them safe from the London bombings in World War II.  \n\n\n\nLike the title suggests\, there is a White Witch who has evil plans for Narnia. She uses magic to enchant the world and keep Narnia in perpetual winter. She turns creatures to stone if they make a stand against her or break any of her laws. \n\n\n\nThere are intense scenes and themes in this story\, which may be challenging for young readers. For example\, the White Witch does kill the lion Aslan on the stone table. This is an intense moment in the story\, but one of utmost importance as C.S. Lewis writes in allegory and Aslan is the Christ figure in Narnia. Aslan does not stay dead and helps the Pevensies in their most desperate hour. \n\n\n\nThere may also be some challenging vocabulary\, readers will be encouraged to bring those words up for discussion. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReading Schedule\n\n\n\nWeek 1: Discussion – Chapters 1-5Week 2: Discussion – Chapters 6-10Week 3: Discussion – Chapters 11-14Week 4: Discussion –  Chapters 15-end\n\n\n\n\n\nHow To Begin\n\n\n\nIt’s easy!

But is that kind of world good? \n\n\n\nJoin this club to read the futuristic classic\, The Giver—where you’ll follow along with Jonas as he is assigned the job to become his community’s receiver—the keeper of all memories… and learns that “the perfect community” may not be all that he believed it to be. You and your Literary Guide\, Ms. Conley\, will analyze the imagery\, themes\, and conflicts within the story—to explore the deeper meanings behind the text to discuss the novel’s themes of loss\, love\, and liberty. \n\n\n\nWhat Makes This Club Special \n\n\n\nIt’s a Classic. This book is a world-renowned classic—on many required reading lists as a shaper of culture\, critical thinking\, and future ideas. \n\n\n\nYour Guide is a Professional Writer/Author and Seasoned Online Instructor. Ms. Conley is a professional writer\, author\, educator\, and screenwriter who lived and worked in Hollywood—and when you sign up for this club\, you get a professional\, highly-skilled Guide who helps your teen explore reading on a deeper level—through both understanding story and how stories and books are written. With an educational and learning focus\, at the end of each class\, we’ll discuss “challenge words” (vocabulary) and be guided for what to look for\, as we prepare for the next week’s session and story to come. \n\n\n\nYour Guide\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRobin Conley was born and raised in Michigan\, USA\, and earned a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in English and World Literature from Western Michigan University and a double Master of Fine Arts (MFA) degree in Screenwriting and Genre Fiction from Western Colorado University.

The haunting story centers on twelve-year-old Jonas\, who lives in a seemingly ideal\, if colorless\, world of conformity and contentment. Not until he is given his life assignment as the Receiver of Memory does he begin to understand the dark\, complex secrets behind his fragile community. Lois Lowry has written three companion novels to The Giver\, including Gathering Blue\, Messenger\, and Son. \n\n\n\nAge Range – Young Adult (12 and up) \n\n\n\n\n\nParental Guidance\n\n\n\nThe Giver is a classic novel that explores what life would be like in a dystopian society where no one feels pain\, love\, sadness\, or loss except one chosen individual who keeps those memories for everyone.
