Publisher's Description of The Silver Chair Study Guide | Progeny Press
Book 6 in the Narnia series by C.S. Lewis.
On the run from bullies at their nasty school, Eustace and Jill Pole suddenly find as escape into Narnia, but they become separated. Jill meets Aslan, who tells her they have a task to accomplish and gives her four signs to memorize to help accomplish their task. When Jill is reunited with Eustace, they learn that King Caspian's son Prince Rilian has vanished, and they are to find him and return him to Narnia. With the help of a very gloomy Marsh-wiggle, they set out to find the prince, but they soon find themselves forgetting to repeat the four signs. And when they are captured and led away to a deep underground kingdom, it looks as if they may have failed completely at Aslan's task.
In 61 pages (including the answer key), our Study Guide contains:
Background on the authors and story
Prereading suggested activities
Vocabulary activities related to the story
General content questions
Literary analysis and terminology questions designed to give students a good understanding of writing technique and how to use it
Critical analysis questions designed to help students consider and analyze the intellectual, moral, and spiritual issues in the story and weigh them with reference to scripture
The Middle
School guides is our largest offering of titles with Progeny
Press. With over 40 titles to choose from, there are numerous books that
will likely be suitable for your student. All presented from a Christian
worldview, each guide is filled with comprehension questions, vocabulary
building, and scriptural connections and application. Pages can be copied for
family and individual classroom use. Many of the classics are found in this
collection and would provide a great opportunity (or incentive) for your
students to read the book and watch the movie! The recommended target goal is
for students to read 4-6 guides during the school year. Answers are in the back
and can be easily removed. Each guide includes Notes to the Instructor, mini
author biographies, and background information. You may be working with a range
of students all from one guide, and that’s okay! Each student will do what they
are developmentally capable of accomplishing. It is easy to read just for fun,
yet adding a literature guide helps to provide a guided reading experience
promoting deeper thought and critical thinking. ~Rebecca
