First Set of Essay Questions on The Hobbit
The students will read The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. As they read the book, they will take notes so they will be prepared to answer the essay questions in this lesson. They will read this book in three parts (six chapters at a time). This is the first part of three lessons.
