Our homeschool association has had a “Hobbit Reading Club” going since June. We’ve read the book - usually each chapter several times - done character analysis, plot charts, arts-and-crafts, and discussed mythology, theology, and how difficult it is for people who are cranks about the text to sit through movies made my non-cranks.
We’re all going to see the movie Saturday afternoon. I will stifle my cries of “That’s not in the text!” for the sake of the team ;-).
I miss homeschooling :o(

Our youngest son did a full course on “Lord of the Rings” as a ‘Literature course’ in his Senior year. He read the full trilogy, it tied in vocabulary, and even had some lessons on comparative literature. It was called “Literary Lessons from Lord of the Rings”, and he really enjoyed it.
