• The first section is writing 2 short diary entries. Students to imagine they are in the air raid shelter on the night of the bombing and write about their feelings. The other entry is arriving in the countryside manor and writing about the first day’s experience.

• The second section is writing character profiles for each of the children. It includes either drawing the face or printing pictures from the internet, their personality, good and bad qualities, drawing the gift from Father Christmas and explaining why it suits that child (for Edmund, the student needs to draw the reason why he didn't receive a gift and explain) and lastly to write about how the child’s personality changes growing up in Narnia as a royal and what caused it. (This works well in a group of four if too much for one student)

•Third section, students choose one of the four children and write a recount for a typical day as a ruler in Narnia.

Based on the book by C.S. Lewis, the film tells the story of 4 children who go to live with an old professor during the war. One day, while playing hide and seek, Lucy, the youngest, finds a wardrobe which leads to a magical land called Narnia.
