The Hobbit, or There and Back Again is a children’s fantasy novel by English author J. R. R. Tolkien. The Hobbit is set within Tolkien’s fictional universe and follows the quest of home-loving Bilbo Baggins, the titular hobbit.
This lesson looks at how authors can build tension and suspense in their writing with a focus on The Hobbit. It looks specifically at the part when Bilbo meet Gollum in the cave. Presentation, lesson plan and resources included.
Students look at a poster slide detailing different ways authors build tension and suspense and then come up with their own examples. They then identify these techniques in an extract from chapter 4. They read the rest of the chapter, illustrating the levels of tension from main events on the graph. Finally, they write the part when Bilbo meets Gollum after watching a clip and reading the start of chapter 5 and write their own narrative of the scene.
