Tolkien (Chapter 12), helping students focus on significant details to develop a deeper understanding of the text and contribute more meaningfully to class discussion. An answer key is included.

This resource may serve as the basis for small-group discussions. Through these discussions, students decode language and pose/respond to questions relating to plot, broad topics, and character development, demonstrating an ability to analyze how complex characters transform and advance the plot and themes by applying logic and citing compelling, meaningful textual evidence. They will also evaluate their peers’ reasoning and use of rhetoric to advance claims, clarifying or challenging unclear ideas. Using this resource for structured guidance, students, ultimately, will present information, conclusions, and supporting textual evidence clearly, concisely, and appropriately, thereby helping their peers comprehend their thinking.

By engaging in this exercise, students will…

  • Analyze the effect of the author’s language upon the reader
  • Determine tone in context
  • Define unfamiliar and challenging vocabulary in context
  • Draw reasoned inferences about characterization
  • Apply knowledge of literary devices to the novel
