The Merchant of Venice is one of Shakespeare’s best works. As an added benefit, it gives teachers and students the opportunity to delve into historical context. This MoV unit provides a pre-read activity that helps students understand the context of the play, including 2 podcast episodes that explain the place of Jewish peoples in Europe at this time. There are then 4 study guides that coincide with the play that include quote identification/explanation, and comprehension questions. There is not an answer key, as answers may differ based on edition/translation of the play. Unit was written based on the Folger Shakespeare Library Merchant of Venice, but could be used with others.

In order to successfully complete this mini unit study, you will need some sort of copy of The Hobbit: hardcopy, digital, or audible. Students will not read the entirety of the book, but there are a few selected chapters they will need to read. You will also need the film! This unit can be completed with the extended edition or the regular theatrical cut. As a warning, students may need to watch more than once to complete all of the work. Musical score is also an important factor to any epic tale. There is a section that encourages the analysis of the musical score, and its purpose and uses throughout the film. This is optional. As you can imagine, students should have a basic understanding of literary components like characterization, theme, etc… This unit is a fun and unique way to incorporate and strengthen those identifying and analytical skills. I have included a short summary of Hercules, as well as a Freytag’s Pyramid and Hero’s Journey activity, as practice in case that is something newer for your student. I have also provided answer keys for The Hobbit Freytag’s Pyramid and Hero’s Journey for The Hobbit. Outlines for Freytag’s Pyramid and the Hero’s Journey can also be found digitally on websites like Padlet if you’d like to modify for your student! This mini unit comes with: -Freytag’s Pyramid (answer key at the end) -Custom Hobbit Hero’s Journey (answer key at the end) -Question pages based on chapters 1, 5, & 6 of the book -4 character profile pages: protagonist, antagonist, and 2 choose your own -Thematic analysis -Musical analysis questions -Musical analysis chart -Summary of Hercules and a corresponding Freytag’s Pyramid and Hero’s Journey activity And in the words of Gandalf, I invite you: “I’m looking for someone to share in an adventure.”
