INDEPENDENT PROJECTS

Create a Values Chart 

Make a chart with two columns, “Values” and “Characters.” In the first column list the following values represented in The Chronicles of Narnia: charity, faith, humility, justice, mercy. In the second column list the characters in whom you see these values embodied.

Make a Narnia Map
Create a map of the world of Narnia, showing its physical features, towns, and other places of interest. You may want to include drawings of some of the characters and events.

Make a Narnian Timeline

Narnian time moves differently from ours, and you learn a little more about this in each book. Make two parallel timelines showing how much time has passed between the books—in Narnia and in England.

Research Historical Connections

The Chronicles of Narnia were written in the years following the cataclysmic events of World War II. In fact, the first Narnia book—The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe—takes place while bombs are falling on London. Research why the Allied defeat of the Nazis has been viewed as the triumph of good over evil. Then write a report describing how the historical events of World War II may have played a role in The Chronicles of Narnia.

Write a Character Study

Choose two characters who appear in several books. Write a character study of each describing how he or she grows and develops from one book to the next.

Write a Descriptive Poem

From its creation in The Magician’s Nephew to its destruction in The Last Battle, the world of Narnia is revealed in increasingly detailed layers. Write a poem evoking the physical world of Narnia.

Write a Fantasy

C. S. Lewis used the genre of fantasy to create a world in which characters must regularly confront issues of good and evil, right and wrong. Write your own fantasy. Create a world based wholly on your own imagination, filled with fanciful creatures facing conflicts that test their morality.

Write an Interview

Suppose you could interview C. S. Lewis. Write questions about the books and then, based on your reading of The Chronicles of Narnia, the answers you think he would give.
