Course Description

This 5-week Book Builders course is a comprehensive literature experience that blends reading, discussion, writing, and creativity to help students deeply understand The Hobbit. Designed for ages 10–14, this class supports learners as they work through a challenging novel at a thoughtful, age-appropriate pace. Students read a combination of shared text in class and assigned chapters at home. Weekly class meetings focus on guided discussion that explores characters, plot development, key decisions, and major themes such as courage, humility, wisdom, and personal growth. To reinforce comprehension and engagement, students complete a creative project each week. Learners may choose to build with interlocking bricks or blocks or draw and design scenes from the story, allowing them to represent settings, important moments, and character choices in a hands-on way. These projects are paired with short, meaningful writing activities that help students explain their thinking without overwhelming them. By the end of the course, students will have read the entire novel, participated in thoughtful literary discussions, created multiple visual representations of the story, and reflected on how the main character changes over time. This class is ideal for students who enjoy learning through conversation, creativity, and active engagement rather than worksheets alone.
