Narnia Studies for Middle and High School

Creative Writing Ideas:

1 Keep a "diary" from the perspective of one of the characters.. .. pick a character and then throughout the book, write journal entries based on how she thinks that character feels, what they might have seen in a day, things they may have done, foods they may have eaten, etc.For The Magician's Nephew, Digory or Polly would work.. Then from Lion, Prince Caspian AND Dawn Treader, she could do Lucy or Edmund (Peter and Susan for the first 2, but if she'd like to stick with one character for more books, the younger two might be better, and thn she could even work in things like "this reminds me of when we were here and Peter was High King and we ..." ... The Horse and His Boy, she could do any of the characters, etc...

2. Write a newspaper article concerning a particular event that occurs in the book, and include "interviews" from characters and even un-named bystanders.. .

3.. Write a travel brochure for some of the different places in the books...

4. Change the ending to the story

5. Write a fantasy story of her own in the same style.

6. Write about what she would have done if she was in one of the character's position in an event that happened to them, likeEdmond with the White Witch.

7. Write poems from the perspectives of the different characters.

8. Write your own allegory about a different part of the Bible.

9. Create a story about your own world. Create a world with your own characters and the like.
