- Before
introducing The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, conduct an
informal class poll. How many students are the eldest child? The youngest?
The middle? An only child? What is it like to be the _________? What
responsibilities do you have? Tell the students that The Lion, the
Witch, and the Wardrobe is about four siblings who love each other,
fight with each other, have adventures together, and have different
responsibilities. Invite the students to pay attention to the different
characters -- oldest to youngest -- and the choices they make.
- Invite
students to think about how their responsibilities have changed as they
have gotten older. What new responsibilities to they have at home or
at school? How do they think their responsibilities will change as they
grow older?
