- Ask the
students to think about the actions of the four children and other characters
in the story. What examples of responsible behavior can they remember?
Did responsible behavior contribute to whether or not the character
appeared trustworthy? Which characters would they students place the
most trust in? Why? Which characters seem the least worthy of trust?
Why?

- As the
students plan and carry out their project with younger students, ask
them to keep reflection journals. As the project develops ask the students
to consider when being responsible was especially challenging. How did
they overcome obstacles? Do they feel they have earned the trust of
others (the younger students, classmates, teachers) through this project?

- In chapter
12, Peter says the following of Edmund's treachery: "That was partly
my fault, Aslan. I was angry with him and I think that helped him to
go wrong." Ask the students to consider Peter's suggestion that
he was in some part responsible for Edmund. What responsibility do we
have for the actions of others? In what ways are students of your age
responsible for their classmates? How can we assist others as they attempt
to be responsible and earn trust?
