Major Assignment: Bilbo's Journey Project

Students will be creating a some form of map or journal that tracks the journey that Bilbo has been on. 

Examples can be a scroll or book that graphically shows main events in the journey thus far.  Graphics should also contain short desriptions (perhaps in the format of a quick journal entry) describing what has happened.

This assignment will be graded on a rubric that has been handed out, but can be downloaded on the following link:
