The Hobbit Novel Study

We have just begun our Hobbit Novel Study.  We have read through chapter 1, and I have asked students not to read ahead as we will be doing assignments throughout and will read the book many times together as a group.

Assignments:

1) Students will keep a running tab of new voacbulary from the book.  They will have a duotang for this novel study and the first pages will be vocabulary.
- Define
- Write a new sentence with this word

Chapter 1:
Flummoxed
Wretched
Audacious
Conspirator
Inclined
Discreetly

2) On another piece of paper make a list of all the characters introduced thus far.  Write the little bit that you know about them.

3) In the Introduction there is a picture of the map that Gandalf gives to Thorin. First copy down the dwarf runes, and second decode them using the decoding sheet.  (It is available on my website).
