Further Up and Further In
This literature-based unit study utilizes C.S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia series to help parents instruct their children in academic subjects and godly character development. Primarily, this unit study emphasizes the study of God's Word. From an academic standpoint, this study covers the subjects of art and music, Bible, cooking, English, reading, health and safety, geography/social studies, history, and science. You will need separate math, grammar, and spelling courses.
Further Up and Further In is organized into seven units, each corresponding to one of the seven Narnia books. The design for this study allows a single unit to be completed in about a month (at the rate of one chapter per day). Each unit is subdivided into four sections. Each section generally covers four chapters of the designated Narnia book. At the beginning of each section is a Planning Guide listing and items to be gathered. Each chapter of this unit study corresponds with the reading assignment from the Narnia books. The first assignment of each chapter is to learn the allocated vocabulary words and to read the chapter. The activities, which support the chapter, follow the reading of the chapter. A week in Further Up and Further In consists of four days of assignments. The fifth day of the week is used to catch up on reading, finish activities, field trips, or projects. Required materials include the complete Chronicles of Narnia series (page numbers cited in this manual correspond to the January 1995 printing of the Scholastic edition of the Narnia books), a dictionary, a Bible, a thesaurus, and encyclopedias. Additional recommended resources are listed below. Spiral bound.~ Rachel P.
