This document provides instruction on using a grid system to describe positions and directions in Narnia. It teaches that letters and numbers can be used to specify locations on a grid, and includes examples of characters from Narnia stories positioned on grids, such as Aslan at D4 and the White Witch at A1. Directions like north, east, south, and west are also introduced to describe movement between grid squares. Students are given tasks like drawing characters on sample grids and describing routes between locations.
