We are going on an adventure with Bilbo and company with the help of Progeny Press’ The Hobbit Study Guide. Sections cover 2-3 chapters except the last section which covers 6 chapters. Each section starts with Vocabulary work as students define, use, and work with different forms of words. Questions that follow work on comprehension from the reading; then thinking deeper questions about the story—working on those critical thinking skills; finally ending with scriptural connection questions connecting the students reading with the bible and their spiritual formation. Literary skills covered in this guide include characterization, metaphors, setting, similes, anthropomorphism, irony, and more. Prereading Activities provide context to what you will read. Post reading projects help readers make further connections to the text and showcase what they have learned. A catered list of age-appropriate Further Resources is provided. Answers are in the back on perforated pages for easy removal. 71 pages, softcover. ~Rebecca

Description
Publisher's Description of The Hobbit Study Guide | Progeny Press
The classic prequel to Tolkien's Lord of the Rings series.
Bilbo Baggins is a respectable hobbit - one of a race of small, quiet, country folk who inhabit The Shire, their pastoral corner of Middle-earth. One day he receives an unexpected visit from the great wizard Gandalf and thirteen dwarves. The dwarves, led by Thorin Oakenshield, have decided to return to the land of their ancestors and reclaim the treasure taken from them years before by Smaug, a terrible dragon.
On Gandalf's recommendation, Thorin and his company wish to enlist Bilbo as their burglar. Bilbo would much rather stay at home where he is comfortable, safe, and has a pocket handkerchief. But the idea of adventure appeals to something deep within him and Bilbo is drawn into the quest and soon faces giant spiders, goblins, and worse as he travels the great distance to the Lonely Mountain, where the dwarves' treasure awaits—as does the dragon and war!

The High School guides offer many familiar and popular high school literature options from Progeny Press. With over 37 titles to choose from, there are numerous books to fill your students’ reading time! All titles are presented from a Christian worldview, and each guide is filled with comprehension questions, vocabulary building, dedicated analysis work, and scriptural connections and application. Pages can be copied for family and individual classroom use. Many of the classics are found in this collection and would provide a great opportunity (or incentive) for your students to read the book and watch the movie! The recommended goal is for students to read 4-6 guides during the school year. Answers are in the back and can be easily removed. Each guide includes Notes to the Instructor, mini author biographies, and background information. These literature selections are more suited for high school students as they contain difficult topics and content.
