Key Features


  • Tactile Creativity: Unleash your child's artistic side by creating a custom race for Middle-earth. Using modeling clay, students develop their own characters while practicing storytelling and character development principles.
  • Critical Analysis: Encourage sharp thinking with the Character Transformation Analysis. As your child examines Bilbo's evolution, they learn to identify subtle themes of growth and resilience, connecting literature with life lessons.
  • Interactive Vocabulary Mastery: Transform word learning into a spirited quest with a Vocabulary Game. Armed with themed cards and a dice, your child masters new terms from "The Hobbit," enriching their language skills playfully and effectively.
  • Interdisciplinary Connections: With integrated geography through "Map the Journey," your child gains a spatial and sequential understanding of literature. Meanwhile, the Grammar Guru exercises strengthen syntax knowledge, directly enhancing their writing acumen.

In this literature unit, your student not only relishes the engaging tale of "The Hobbit," but also acquires the educational prowess to navigate their own academic and personal escapades. They will decode runes, write riddles in the spirit of Bilbo and Gollum, delve into literary analysis, brainstorm problem-solving strategies, and more. These engaging exercises foster a deep appreciation for literature while developing reading comprehension, critical thinking, vocabulary, and writing skills.
