My Project

We are planning on reading The Hobbit this year, based on past student feedback. It was part of the adopted curriculum during the pandemic, but post pandemic, we need classroom sets of this book! This is enough for one classroom set. I've ordered some from Amazon, as well, but it's not enough. We need more books. We will write narrative and argumentative essays based on The Hobbit. The decision to read this book is based on past feedback from students who said it was their favorite activity we had in class that year.
