Summary for Lesson 1
We kicked off our study of The Hobbit today by sharing first impressions of the story and what makes Tolkien’s world so magical. After discussing what we enjoyed and didn’t enjoy about the book, we zoomed out to think about the historical and literary context behind Tolkien’s writing. We talked about the impact of Tolkien’s experience in WWI and his fascination with mythology, languages, and storytelling, and how this shaped his world-building. You were all excellent at spotting how The Hobbit blends a fairy-tale tone with epic fantasy elements, and coming up with your own mythologies, well done! For homework, you’re researching Tolkien himself- can’t wait to hear what you find out next week! 🙂
