A hit all around

Rating: 10/10 (12 December 2005)

I am an 8th grade science teacher in Lakeland, Florida. We teach on teams, and the reading teachers on both 8th grade teams had the students read the book in class, either on their own or the teachers read it aloud. Our students were very hooked into the book. So we decided to take them on a field trip to see the movie on Friday the 9th when it came out. We had around 200 students attend a private showing - they had the theater to themselves - it was great.
The student's loved it!!! They laughed, they applauded, they cheered, some even cried! No one seemed unhappy with the movie.
I had never read the book, but I was impressed with the movie, and would love to see it again. I am now going to read the book, as well as the other Narnia books.
When are we getting movies on the other Narnia books?
