Smith, Pamela
This fantasy unit focuses on C. S. Lewis's "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe." Through the unit's 17 lessons (which correspond to the book's 17 chapters), students will read and analyze the text, using the literary elements of characterization, setting, plot, theme, character, climax, and resolution. The unit offers an overview; suggests length and grade level; lists subjects and subtopics; cites dimensions of learning and intelligences being addressed; notes equipment and materials needed; addresses National Standards for Arts Education and other standards; and lists teacher resources. It also presents instructional objectives and strategies; offers a warm-up instructional plan; and suggests assessment and extension activities. It then provides a detailed, step-by-step (i.e., chapter-by-chapter) instructional plan. Attached are an outline of literary elements and questions for "quality thinking." (NKA)
