Item Description...
This rich study is based on C.S. Lewis The Chronicles of Narnia. It covers a wide range of subjects, including English and literature, history and social studies, geography, science, Bible and character building, cooking, and art.
What Shakespearean play influenced The Voyage of the Dawn Treader? Where would you find minarets like those in The Horse and His Boy? What does Turkish Delight taste like? Step through the wardrobe with wardrobe with Further Up and Further In and find out!
Like each of the Cadron Creek unit studies, Further Up and Further In is a highly self-contained curriculum. This full-year curriculum is an extensive study of The Chronicles of Narnia, which integrates a wide range of subject studies, including English literature, social studies, geography, Bible and character building, cooking, and art. It also supplements science and history.
Each of the seven books in the Narnia series is studied in a separate four-week unit. The Appendix section comes complete with recipes, activity directions, recommended reading for background information, poems, a resource listing, and a list of subjects covered, organized under headings for quick reference.
Adventurers who read at a fourth to eighth grade level will benefit the most from this study, but it may be easily adapted for anyone who is not too old to expand his or her horizons. The seven books in The Chronicles of Narnia will need to be purchased separately. (The 1995 printing of the Scholastic edition is referenced in this study.) |

 | Further Up and Further In: A Literature Based Unit Study Jul 11, 2009 |
I purchased the unit study "Further Up and Further In" for two reasons:
1. My child was interested in doing a unit study based on the classic C.S. Lewis book series "The Chronicles of Narnia."
2. I am scheduled to teach and enrichment class on "The Chronicles of Narnia" for elementary/junior-senior high students.
"Further Up and Further In" is a unit study with each unit corresponding to one of the books in the "Chronicles of Narnia" series. Topics covered in this unit study are: Bible, art, music, cooking, English, reading, health and safety, geographical/social studies, history and science.
The pluses of this curriculum are:
1. The author does an oustanding job of extracting "Biblical truths" from the "Chronicles of Narnia" series. This provides the parent with the opportunity to talk with their children in regard to the truths and how the relate to everyday life.
2. The curriculum can easily be used for a one to two year period of study.
3. The curriculum is extremely affordable. Additional resources can easily be obtained through a good library system.
4. The curriculum can be used with younger students in elementary years and again with older students in the junior to senior high years.
The minuses of this curriculum are:
1. The curriculum has not been updated since it was written.
2. A high amount of prep time is required by the parent/older student.
The parent/older student gathers all the materials needed prior to starting the week. This may include searching for library books/dvds/planning for each of the subjects taught. If you are using this with an older student this is a great way to teach library/research skills. If you are using this with a younger student you will have to pick/choose carefully what you will cover and how in depth you will cover topics.
Overall I think the concept of using the C.S. Lewis classic series the "Chronicles of Narnia" for a unit study is a great idea. I am looking forward to using this curriculum in our homeschool and with the enrichment class students.
