We will be covering all the books in the Narnia series, I hope. Its a mixed bag of homeschooled, Catholic school, and public school kids so a real reflection of our community. We are adding in having tea, sewing/knitting/spinning, geography, botany (its early spring here), and making our own countries! The crafts, botany, ect are to help develop "content" for each county. <br />I envision the book discussion driving choices on relations with neighbor counties (the others in the group), county symbols like flags and anthems as well as discussions on who the people of their country are-Who is the country for ?, when in time does it exist, what are the people of the country proud of? So hopefully we can relate the setting, characters, themes, conflicts, resolutions,ect of story into creating one ourselves. A number of the kids play Mind craft at school. Their parents want their kids to read more and to get more out the books they do read. We are hands-off with technology as much as possible to give this group of tweens/early teens a chance to create by hand. Please pray for us, its a huge undertaking.<br /><br />Alicia in NZ<br />.Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08552619079464877619noreply@blogger.com
