6 lessons (broken up into 3 sections) of non-fiction and language work to supplement teaching of The Hobbit. Just print and go! Ideal for cover lessons, shared teachers, introductory, homework, or post-assessment work. Sections include: Section 1- Biography: The Life of J.R.R. Tolkien After looking at a biography of J R R Tolkien, thinking about the context of The Hobbit, students are given a fact file to complete improving their comprehension, skimming and scanning skills. Then, students will complete research on an author of their choice and create their own biography. Section 2: Travel Brochure Writing Firstly, students will look at the features of a travel brochure for real life Hobbiton in New Zealand. They will look more closely at persuasive devices, before imagining a literary themed tourist attraction of their own, and create a leaflet advertising it. Section 3: Banned Books Article / Letter Students will complete some investigation into reasons why books (including The Hobbit) have been banned historically by watching a video and reading an article. After comprehension questions, there are speaking and listening and debate tasks, before students write a formal letter in response to an imagined scenario.
