Writing Exercise for The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
The students will read The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien. As they read the book, they will locate a section of the book they find interesting and find the topic sentence and supporting sentences in that paragraph or section. They need to write the location of their section on their essay so you can locate the part they wrote in their essay.
Students need a copy of The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien Before you have them read their book, you can explain to them about topic sentences and supporting sentences in a section, such as a paragraph. You can use a section of the book for your explanation, and then have the students choose other sections in the book for their example of topic sentences and supporting sentences.
After you have explained these elements to the students, then you will have them read the book and locate a section they would like to read and write about for their paper. They need to state their topic sentence and the supporting sentences and why they chose that particular section. They also need to write the page number down on their essay so they know where they found it and so you can refer to it.
You can grade them on their topic sentences and supporting sentences they chose for their paper, and then on how they well they wrote the paper. You can check for correct grammar, spelling, punctuation, sentence structure, and paragraph structure.
