The Hobbit: Chapter 1; Fantasy Map Making

Please keep your journals for period 3 while we read/listen to The Hobbit. As we listen to the chapter, please keep your journal for any notes you may wish to take as I discuss key points of the novel and things to be aware of as a writer.

You should also keep your Fantasy BINGO sheet nearby to capture any fantasy tropes. Turn in your BINGO sheets when you have collected BINGO. The first student to do so will win a small prize. The rest just get credit for the assignment and get to learn something about fantasy tropes--so even if you don't win, you win!

Period 3:

We will listen to Chapter 1 of The Hobbit.

Keep track of Bilbo's Hero Journey:
  • Status Quo
  • Call to adventure
  • Assistance
  • Departure
  • Trials
  • Approach
  • Crisis
  • Treasure
  • Result
  • Return 
  • New Life
  • Resolution/Status quo
Period 4ish. Turn in your journals. They are due today.

Room 238 and the lab will be open for you to design and create your fantasy maps. Use the markers, crayons, pens, pencils, etc. to create a fantasy world for your upcoming story. See previous post for advice and details about how to create an effective fantasy world map. We'll start writing our fantasy stories on Friday. Turn in your map draft by the end of the week.

HOMEWORK: Please read Chapter 2 of The Hobbit. Continue to fill in your BINGO sheets. There may be a quiz.
