El Hobbit de J. R. R. Tolkien - Literatura inglesa (clase a tu propio ritmo)

This class is designed to cover The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien. In order to understand the material, the student needs to be able to read at an 8th-grade level and write complete sentences. 

Students need to purchase their own copy of the book. Any format (paper, digital, or audio) is acceptable. However, students will need to be able to quote from the text, so an audio version might make that a bit challenging. 

Students will receive digital copies of all the activity sheets they need. Assignments will include reading (between 25 and 60 pages each week), learning vocabulary, vocabulary and comprehension quizzes, character analysis, and an essay project. There will also be some optional podcast episodes for the students to listen to. Students who submit this work will be given a grade for each assignment they complete. 

Course expectations:
This is a self-paced course, meaning that there are no live meetings. Each week, you will listen to the assigned portions, watch the videos, read the material provided, and work on your creative project. 

The instructor will always be available via message and will typically reply within 12 to 24 hours. I am also willing to set up office hours via Zoom video chat if they are requested by a section of the class.
