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. Although the idea of adventure appeals to something deep within him, Bilbo would much rather stay at home where he is comfortable and safe. Nevertheless, Bilbo is drawn into the quest and soon faces trolls, goblins, and worse as he travels the great distance to the Lonely Mountain, where the dwarves' treasure awaits - as does the dragon.
Our Interactive Study Guide will open with Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.0+. You may still print off the study guide just as before. But with the interactive files, students have the capability of entering their answers directly on the computer and saving their work in progress.
This is an excellent study guide especially for high school and parents. I am participating in walking through the book and questions with my girls and we are all thoroughly enjoying the thought-provoking questions and insight into the story of The Hobbit. We will definitely look at purchasing other study guides.
We've used Progeny several times before and really like it. With the Hobbit, Lord of the Ring movies being so popular it seemed the right time to read The Hobbit. The guide is great, and I like how it pulls in Biblical references -- especially that my son can type his answers on the computer instead of handwriting everything.
Very thorough and thought provoking study guide.
