C.S. Lewis: Master Storyteller
My high school aged daughter said, "From an early age, C.S. Lewis loved listening to stories. His love for stories quickly bloomed as he learned to write and record stories of his own. He went through periods of time during which literature could not be his main focus, but he always found a way to keep his love in his life. An example of this is when he went to war. When he had time to himself, he swapped books with the other soldiers. Lewis later became an Oxford lecturer, which gave him an opportunity to connect with others who shared his love of writing. His friendships with J.R.R. Tolkien started his journey from Atheism to Christianity. When he finally gives his profession of faith, he feels as if a whole new world has been opened up to him. He explored this world the only way he know how: through his writing. Later he created a club called the 'Inklings'. This was a club for writers to read their literary work and get feedback. This club challenged Lewis to be the best writer he could be. Lewis quickly became a very influential Christian, who many came to for advice. In conclusion, if I were to take one lesson away from this book, it would be that every passion can be used for the glory of God."
C.S. Lewis Unit Study Curriculum Guide
The study guide is to be used to accompany the book. Within the study guide students will be challenged in all areas of academia including:
- History
- Geography
- Essay Writing
- Creative Writing
- Reading Comprehension
- Public Speaking
- Drama
- Art
- Scripture
- Further Reading/Researching
- Essay Questions
- Creative Writing
- Hands-On Projects
- Audio-Visual Projects
Each chapter has six questions. The first question is a vocabulary related question that is taken from the book. The page number is given. The second question is a simple factual question. The next two questions are reading comprehension questions. The last two questions are more open-ended questions where they want the student to give their opinion or interpretation. The first three questions are geared more for the lower grade students while the last three questions are definitely for upper grades. The fifth and sixth questions would make great group discussion questions if the book were being read in a classroom setting. The answers to the questions are in the back of the study guide.
The Books and Resources is a wonderful addition to the guide as it gives the student a wonderful launch pad as to where to go to further their study on C.S. Lewis. This includes both books and movies. I know that often times my kiddos get interested in a subject or person after reading about it or him/her. These resources are so nice to have.
Our family loves these Heroes series and have many of the books in our own personal library. I would most definitely recommend all of these books. Be sure to read what other Homeschool Review Crew Members had to say about C.S. Lewis and the other wonderful people found in the, Christian Heroes: Then and Now series as well as the, Heroes of History series.
