We're off..... [imagine William Tell Overture playing in the background here]
We just started our Prince Caspian lapbook. I have uploaded the mini-books from chapters 1 & 2 to my group (Homeschool Treasure Trove). I also uploaded an "Overview" file which has some mini-books that encompass the whole book (Vocabulary, memory verses, "book report" newspaper minibook ~this one was my favorite so far~). We'll be working on Narnia all week, so hopefully I'll have a few more chapters uploaded throughout the week.
Just to let you know...the booklets are more of a partial unit study INSPIRED by the book, not an actual literature study/book report. I do not have full unit study links and directions. I've pulled a few things from each chapter that I used as a springboard to learn more about science, history, Bible, and hopefully a few other subjects. The Newspaper/book-report booklet and vocabulary are the only things so far that are "story-based." A friend of mine (Heather) is writing a unit study for Prince Caspian...I have not seen what she's written so far, but I know it's in the works. There is also a Narnia Unit study available called Further Up, Furher In that is really good too. It covers all 7 books of the Narnia Series. I have this unit study and my kids have really enjoyed it. Some of the mini-books I have created are similar to the activities in this unit study, but I've been trying to pull my own ideas from the book as well.
So far there are too many mini-books just from the first 2 chapters and overview for me to even have a "pipe dream" that it will fit into a lapbook (file folder), even if you attach 10 of them...which is not practical...so I have started putting them into a "notebook" (you can use cardstock and put it into a 3 ring binder...I bound mine with my ProClick.) I can't wait to get it all done.
If you'd prefer a "book report" or literature/story-based lapbook, Hands of a Child has a Prince Caspian Lapbook available.

Welcome to my blog...Why "gidget"? Well...my husband tried to teach me how to surf before we were married. I was lousy at it, but he called me his "gidget" and the name stuck.
Why "Treasure Trove"? I love sharing about my sweet little "treasures"...and God has blessed me beyond measure....and no, I didn't mean that to rhyme.
