Watch the following video to get an introduction to JRR Tolkien. Take notes in your ELA notebook about Tolkien's life and works, and then write the following summary on a new page in your online journal:
- The date
- A proper heading (first, last, date, class)
- A title for the summary
- A one-page (double spaced, 12-point "academic" font) summary, highlighting what you think the most important points of Tolkien's life and work
- Hint: the video does a nice job of breaking Tolkien's life down into different sections. Consider using the same organizational strategy
- The summary should be written as a third-person, informational piece
- Note: if the link does not take you to the video, here is the link - https://youtu.be/AKHmC8CmBeU
- This is due no later than 5pm on Tuesday, March 31
