A Note to the Teacher<br />
Vocabulary/Comprehension Activities by Chapter
A Note to the Teacher<br />
The resources that accompany The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe were developed<br />
originally by Carla Gilmore, a teacher at Cerritos High School. All lessons were kid-tested,<br />
and students were asked to provide additional suggestions for activities and lessons they felt<br />
would increase student understanding and appreciation of the underlying values and morals<br />
that appear in the book.<br />
These materials were subsequently reviewed by educational consultants for the C.S. <strong>Lewis</strong><br />
<strong>Foundation</strong> and then refined by <strong>Foundation</strong> staff. They have been designed specifically with<br />
the public school setting in mind.<br />
Please Note:<br />
There are two separate Word documents available for teacher use.<br />
The first provides a variety of vocabulary and comprehension-based activities, including those<br />
tapping the domains of critical thinking and creative expression. Participating teachers are<br />
encouraged to read through the lessons and select those best suited to their own students. The<br />
second provides lessons on ten commonly-held values that are foundational to a sound<br />
character education curriculum.<br />
I. The Vocabulary/Comprehension lessons are introduced with:<br />
‣ The word and definition of the word in English for each chapter.<br />
‣ The word and definition of the word in Spanish for each chapter.<br />
A list of “Narnian” expressions is also given for each chapter as they may require explanation<br />
by the teacher.<br />
Vocabulary Enrichment Activities that vary by chapter<br />
Comprehension Activities that vary by chapter<br />
‣ Fill in the Blank<br />
‣ Multiple Choice<br />
‣ True-False<br />
‣ Short Answer<br />
(These activities may need to be modified and adjusted by the teacher to meet the needs of<br />
his/her students.)<br />
Creative Activities that vary by chapter to help students make personal connections with the<br />
story<br />
‣ Write: Writing activities ask students to reflect on what they have read.<br />
‣ Discuss: Discussion topics are designed to help students share their thoughts orally<br />
about what is happening in the story.<br />
‣ Create: Creative activities ask students to respond to a certain topic using a more<br />
creative approach such as writing a poem, drawing a picture, composing a song, etc.<br />

sentence. Use the story context for clues.<br />
1) After the final battle, the children travel to Cair Paravel where they are crowned<br />
kings and queens with much _____________________ and lived happily near the<br />
sea where they were accompanied by the ________________ sounds of the<br />
_________________ that flew over the castle.<br />
2) Susan, Lucy, Peter and Edmund ruled Narnia for many years. One day they were<br />
told that a magical White Stag had been seen. So the now adult kings and queens<br />
set forth to hunt their ___________________, for they knew that the White Stag<br />
would grant wishes.<br />
3) After a long hunt, Peter, Susan, Lucy and Edmund saw something very strange –<br />
an iron post with a lamp on top. But though it seemed familiar, they couldn‟t<br />

they‟d first entered the magical kingdom of Narnia! Do you think they will have other<br />
adventures in Narnia?<br />

Early in the story, Peter and Susan seek out the Professor to talk about Lucy‟s<br />
fascination with Narnia, Peter tells the Professor that it is only logical that, if<br />
something is “real,” it must be real all the time. p. 52<br />
What does this statement mean? Is time real…? If you believe it is real, then<br />
shouldn‟t five minutes seem to pass at the exact same speed no matter what you‟re<br />
doing?<br />
Think of times in your life when it seemed that “time stood still.” Jot them down.<br />
Now think of times in your life when it seemed that “time sped by.” Jot them down.<br />
Compare your list with others in the class. What do you think? Is time real or is it<br />
something that seems to pass at different speeds for different people depending on<br />
where they are and what they‟re doing?<br />
Many fantasy stories deal with twists in time, in particular, stories about time travel.<br />
Explain why you think time travel is or is not possible.
