The teacher will spend one week teaching his 12th grade class about The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. Each day will include popcorn reading of the story, class discussions, and assignments related to analyzing characters. On Monday, they will get background on the story and start reading. Throughout the week, students will work on assignments like a wiki, book covers, Facebook/Twitter posts, and podcasts. On Friday, they will finish projects and have a concluding discussion of the book. Technology like blogs, YouTube, and social media will support the lessons.
