The Fellowship of the Ring
The Fellowship of the Ring is the first of three volumes in The Lord
of the Rings. It is followed by The Two Towers and The Return of
the King.
The book is about power and greed, innocence and enlightenment.
Ultimately, it describes a battle of good against evil, of kindness
and trust against suspicion, and of fellowship against the desire for
individual power. This is also a story about war, no doubt drawn
from Tolkien’s own experience in World War I.
The Lord of the Rings is considered the grandfather of fantasy and has
influenced almost every single form of fantasy media there is and is widely
considered not just one of the greatest fantasy novels of all time but also
possibly one of the greatest novels in any genre. The Fellowship of the Ring
is the first part of the novel.
It begins readers’ journey with The Lord of the Rings and introduces them to
The Hobbits, Frodo Baggins, Gandalf the Grey and many more of the
companions who will accompany Frodo on his journey. Without too many
spoilers, Frodo is told that he must take the one ring to Mordor and destroy it
because some very evil people are looking for it and it will give them
immense power. Frodo and his companions then set out on an epic journey
that sees them come across plenty of dangers, new cultures, incredible
worlds and fascinating people.
The Lord of the Rings series’ general plot is one of the most well-known
within pop culture. However, this first book focuses a lot on introductions to
new cultures, new races. Hobbits don’t ever leave The Shire, they’re content
in their own little world and so never see the need to leave their little hamlet.
So when Frodo and his companions leave The Shire and delve out into this
world, many of the things they come across they’ve only heard of in legends
before.

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien
He was an English writer, poet, and scholar
and is hailed as the greatest fantasy writer of all
time but is less known for his nonfiction works
and illustrations. As a scholar, Tolkien is well-
regarded for his translations of Old and Middle
English verse, and for fiction-loving readers, he is
the godfather of the contemporary fantasy genre.
, 1892 - 1973
Quick facts
He was the older of two sons: his younger brother
Hilary Arthur Reuel Tolkien was born in 1894.
He lost his parents early in his life.
Tolkien's mother ignited in him his passion for
languages.
Tolkien loved making up languages since his school
days. The firs language invented by Tolkien was
Nevbosh. By 1917 Tolkien had developed Quenya, an
elvish language.
Tolkien and his wife Edith had an epic love story.
Tolkien met Edith Bratt when he was 16 and she 19.
While their married life was not without day to day
frictions, Tolkien and Edith remained devoted to each
other until her death in 1971.
Tolkien fought in the first world war. During the war,
Tolkien signed up and specialized in signalling, in
order to utilize his penchant for words.
Tolkien considered himself a hobbit.
Tolkien loved a good laugh.

1892 - 1973
Mabel Tolkien moved to England with her sons in

1895. Arthur Tolkien died of rheumatic fever in early
1896, before he could join his family. Mabel
singlehandedly raised her sons until 1904, when she
died of diabetes — a fatal condition prior to the
discovery of insulin. Tolkien was 12 years old at this
time.
Mabel Tolkien had converted to Catholicism despite

opposition from her family, and the Catholic faith
remained an important part of Tolkien’s life.
Tolkien's mother taught her children how to read and
write. John was a diligent student: by four, he could
read and devoured classic books rapidly. The boy
adored Lewis Carroll and George MacDonald, but he
did not fancy brother Grimm’s and Stevenson’s works.
After mother's death the pastor Francis Morgan took

care of the boys. In his spare time, Tolkien gladly
painted landscapes and studied biology and ancient
languages: Welsh, Old Norwegian, Finnish, and
Gothic; he demonstrated his remarkable linguistic
talent. When John turned eight, he entered King
Edward's School.

1892 - 1973
Tolkien met Edith Bratt when he was 16 and she 19,

at one of the houses where Tolkien stayed with his
brother after the death of their mother. The Francis
Morgan did not like this relationship: he believed it
was an obstacle to the young man’s studies. Besides,
Edith’s faith was different: she was a Protestant. To
marry Tolkien, she converted to Catholicism later.
Morgan made a condition: he could receive a blessing

only when he would turn 21. Immediately after he
turned of age, Tolkien sought Edith out and asked her
to marry him. Edith agreed, breaking off a previous
engagement. They got married with the blessing of
Father Francis, not long before Tolkien was called up
for the First World War.
While their married life was not without day to day

frictions, Tolkien and Edith remained devoted to each
other until her death in 1971.
Edith and John had four children: the sons John,

Michael, Christopher, and the daughter Priscilla.

Literature
After the graduation from the university, John joined

the army: in 1914, he went to the First World War
voluntarily.Because of the war, John was disabled.
When he came back home, he started teaching and

building his career. At 30, he was Professor of Anglo-
Saxon and Literature. Later, he admitted he created
the magical worlds so that the invented language he
liked seemed natural.
Tolkien introduced the collection of myths and

legends Middle-earth which later transformed into
The Silmarillion (the cycle was published by the
writer’s son in 1977).
On September 21, 1937, Tolkien pleased fantasy

lovers by his book The Hobbit, or There and Back
Again. It is peculiar that John made it up for his small
children: he was going to tell them about the
adventure of courageous Bilbo Baggins and the wise
magician Gandalf who owned a Ring of Power.

The Genesis of the Hobbit
The first line of the Hobbit was conceived on a blank

sheet in an exam paper Tolkien was grading:
"One of the candidates had mercifully left one of the

pages with no writing on it (which is the best thing
that can happen to an examiner) and I wrote on it: “In
a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit”. Names
always generate a story in my mind. Eventually I
thought I’d better find out what hobbits were like.
But that’s only the beginning."
Later, the writer began to work on the epic novel The

Lord of the Rings that continued the story of the
brave hobbit and the powerful magician in the
wonderful world of Middle-earth.
The manuscript turned out to be large. The publisher

decided to divide the book into three parts: The
Fellowship of the Ring (1954), The Two Towers
(1954), and The Return of the King (1955). The book
series was so popular that the Tolkien “boom”
overwhelmed the United States, and the books were
flying off bookstore shelves.

1892 - 1973
Later on, John created the poetic cycle The

Adventures of Tom Bombadil and Other Verses from
the Red Book (1962), The Road Goes Ever On (1967),
and the short story Smith of Wootton Major (1967).
Other works, such as Tales from the Perilous Realm
(1997), The Children of Húrin (2007), The Legend of
Sigurd and Gudrún (2009), were published after the
writer’s death; it was his son Christopher, also a
writer, who did it. He wrote The History of The Lord
of the Rings and analyzed his father’s non-published
books.
Notable Works:
“The Hobbit”
“The Lord of the rings”
“The Silmarillion”
"The History of Middle-earth'"
"Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-earth"

Why we love J.R.R.Tolkien
SIMPLICITY
Tolkien’s first stories including The Hobbit were

written for his children and he didn’t exactly write
them for the general public. The style in which he
wrote them was simple, and the stories were easy to
read and follow, elegant, and beautiful. This is the
same simplicity he used for The Lord of the Rings and
other stories, winning him a lot of fans—both young
and old.
ORIGINALITY AND CREATIVITY
Creativity is something Tolkien didn’t lack, and he

gave middle earth and all its mythical creatures. Now,
having made it onto the screens, this world is so
believable that you tend to wonder if such a world—
full of wonder and magic—never existed.
ATTENTION TO DETAIL
The level of detail in his stories instantly induces

sparks of imagination and swallows the reader into a
world full of mystique, horror, and wonders.

J.R.R.Tolkien about ...
HIMSELF
“For myself, I find I become less cynical rather than

more - remembering my own sins and follies; and
realize that men's hearts are not often as bad as their
acts, and very seldom as bad as their words.”
"I am fond of mushrooms (out of a field); have a very

simple sense of humour (which even my appreciative
critics find tiresome); I go to bed late and get up late
(when possible)."
“The invention of languages is the foundation. The

'stones' were made rather to provide a world for the
languages than the reverse. To me a name comes first
and the story follows.”
“I am in fact a Hobbit in all but size.”

1892 - 1973
J.R.R.Tolkien about ...
WRITING AND LIFE
"It is a wonderful thing to be told that I have

succeeded, at least with those who have still the
undarkened heart and mind.”
“Most of my philological colleagues are shocked (cert.

behind my back, sometimes to my face) at the fall of a
philological into 'Trivial literature'; a,d anyway the cry
is: 'now we know how you have been wasting your
time for 20 years'."
“I wisely started with a map, and made the story fit

(generally with meticulous care for distances). The
other way about lands one in confusions and
impossibilities, and in any case it is weary work to
compose a map from a story.”

J.R.R.Tolkien's Rules
1. To be yourself.
2. To do what you like, and to love what you do.
3. Not to worry if others like what you do.
4. To be childish a bit.
5. To know what your place in this life is.
Tolkien did not fully understand the success of The

Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. But maybe the
secret of this success was his sincerity and natural
writing? He did not plan to make his works world-
famous and loved, and that's why the whole world
loves them today.

The Fellowship of the Ring: Questions to
Discuss
1. What is the main message in The Fellowship of the Ring?
2. What are the major themes in The Fellowship of the Ring?
3. What are the main conflicts in The Fellowship of the Ring?
4. What does the Ring in Fellowship of the Ring symbolize?
5. How the Ring influences the Ring-bearer’s life? Why wearing the Ring is
dangerous, even for wise and good characters?
6. Are Frodo, Gandalf, and Aragorn the true heroes? Justify your opinion.
7. Do you agree with the following statement: "No one is born evil"?
Provide evidence from the story to support or deny this statement.
8. What is the significance of Gollum’s having been a hobbit before
acquiring the Ring? How can greed, envy, and other vices — especially
when associated with an object of great beauty or value — so transform
someone?
9. “We are horribly afraid,” Merry tells Frodo, “but we are coming with
you.” How do Merry, Sam, and Pippin overcome their fears? Are there any
instances in your, your family’s, or your friends’ lives when someone acted
in spite of fear?
10. How important is trust to the Fellowship and to the maintenance of
friendship? How would you define trust?

2020-1-LT01-KA229-078054
The Fellowship of the Ring: Questions to
Discuss
11. What kinds of light and what kinds of darkness appear in The Lord of
the Rings? What circumstances and characters are associated with each?
How does the contrast of light and dark help us to understand the conflict
between good and evil?
12. What kinds of songs are sung in The Lord of the Rings? Do the
circumstances in which each is sung have particular importance?
13. “There are many powers in the world, for good or for evil,” Gandalf
tells Frodo. What powers, for good and evil, do Frodo, Gandalf, and their
companions confront? What are the sources and the effects of each?
14. Why, as Gandalf says, would it “be well to trust rather in friendship
than to great wisdom” in deciding who should accompany Frodo? In what
ways might true friendship be more powerful than great wisdom?
15. What considerations lead Frodo to decide to go forward alone? Would
you do the same? Why or why not?
16. Gandalf tells Frodo, “But you have been chosen, and you must
therefore use such strength and heart and wits as you have.” As the book
progresses, in what ways is Frodo called upon to use “such strength and
heart and wits” as he possesses? In what ways are we all called upon to
deal with the demands of life in a similar way?

Prophecy
Very little happens in Middle-earth that someone, somewhere, has not already prophesied.
These prophecies, like the songs that often contain them, link the past to the present, and
beyond to the near or even distant future. Like the road, these prophecies move the plot
forward, setting up targets for which the plot then aims. These targets are crucial to the
remarkable sense of suspense and anticipation. The repeated presence of prophecies also
shows the great importance of fate in Tolkien’s Middle-earth. Things in this universe happen
for a reason, though perhaps one that is not immediately clear.
USE THE RUNE ALPHABET TO DECODE THE HIDDEN MESSAGE
Learn about meaning and symbolism of runes.

Objectives Decode the encrypted message.
Runes can be used in many different ways. Each rune has not only a
Overview
sound, but also a meaning or symbol, so they can be interpreted in
different ways by historians. Runic inscriptions can be both poetic ("Listen,
ring-bearers, while I speak/Of the glories in war of Harald, most wealthy")
and mundane or obvious ("Rannvieg owns this box").
In 2018, archaeologists discovered a Viking comb at a site in Denmark. It
was inscribed with the word “comb”, perhaps as a way of teaching
children to read and write. Vikings also used runes to display ownership
and often carved their names on different items. They also used them for
magical and mystical applications, such as healing powers. Viking warriors
often carved runes on their weapons, entreating the Nordic gods to
protect them in battle or to help them destroy their enemy. Warriors
often carved the symbol for Tyr, the god of war, onto their shields.
Vocabulary Rune: a letter of an ancient alphabet used by people of Northern Europe

between the 3rd and 13th centuries, typically cut into stone or wood.

Runes were considered a gift from the king of the Norse gods, Odin.
Background Scandinavian mythology tells the legend of Odin, chief of the Norse gods,
information who hung himself from the Yggdrasil tree in order to learn the runes. As
he hung suspended for nine windy nights, he learned the mysteries of the
runes, which he then passed on to his people. Since then, the Vikings
believed runes to be a gift from Odin, they treated them with great
reverence and took the magical powers of runes very seriously. Norse
poetry emphasises the dangers of misinterpreting runes, and one poet
states "Let no man carve runes to cast a spell, save first he learns to read
them well."

Stories—most often in the form of songs and poems—abound in the novel. In addition, smaller
stories, such as one hobbit's quest to destroy a dangerous ring, are just one part of a much
longer and more complex story going back to the beginning of creation. As Sam says, "We're in
the same tale still! It's going on." All actions, small or large—Sam's, Frodo's, anyone's—are

and become part of the story.
CREATE REBUS PUZZLE TO ENCRYPT THE HIDDEN MESSAGE
Promote reading skills development.

Objectives Express ideas in a creative way.
Rebus puzzles are fun activities to challenge yourself and express ideas in a
creative way. The term rebus comes from the Latin phrase non verbis, sed
rebus, which means “not by words, but by things.” Rebus puzzles use pictures,
Overview symbols and letters to represent a word, phrase or idiom. There are two types
of rebus puzzles that work as engaging brainteasers: puzzles that use pictures
and symbols, and puzzles that use word positioning to form idioms.
Rebus Stories and Rhymes
Rebus stories can help beginning learners fill in more difficult words. Some
rebus stories have only the picture and the child fills in the word. Rebus
rhymes and stories are great for young children who are just beginning to learn
to read. There are pictures instead of words throughout the story and rhyme.
These can really make reading fun, entertaining, and hopefully, help children
develop a love of reading.
Vocabulary Rebus: a visual word puzzle that uses the positioning of words, letters, and/or
symbols to represent a common phrase, sometimes in an indirect or tricky
manner. They are sometimes referred to as “hidden meaning” puzzles.

How to solve a rebus puzzle?

One form of rebus puzzles uses pictures to spell out a complete message.
Background These puzzles are also called pictograms and often involve images and
information mathematical symbols to create a full message. The image will definitely form
part or most of the clue.
For example:
(eyeball) + (heart) + U = I love you
The “eye” stands for the letter “I,” the heart symbolizes “love” and the “U”
represents the word “you.” When you combine an eyeball, a heart and a letter
U, it means “I love you.”
Other common symbols in rebus puzzles include:

2 - to or too
4 - for
8 - ate

Rebus Puzzle
How to solve a rebus puzzle?

Background Other types of rebus puzzles use words and their positioning to reveal a phrase or
information idiom.
Some common things to help to solve rebus puzzles:
Positioning
The positioning of words and letters relative to each other is often used to replace
a word or part of a word. You also sometimes need to think what other words
might be used to describe a symbol, letter or word.
NEAFRIENDED
The words “A FRIEND” appears in the word “NEED”, which means this represents “a
friend in need”.
DO12"OR
12″ is in the word DOOR, 12″ (Twelve Inches) is also known as a foot, so we have the
answer Foot In The Door.
Highlighting
There may be an arrow, circle, text bolding or square highlighting one part of the
rebus, which is often a clue pointing to an adjective to describe the word shown.
AID←
AID
AID
There are multiple “AID” words, but the first one is highlighted, which means this
represents “first aid”.
SECRET ←
SECRET
SECRET
There are multiple “SECRET” words, but the top one is highlighted, which means this
represents “top secret”.
Direction
When a word is spelt in a particular direction other than the usual left-to-right it is
normally a clue relevant to the solution. Also pay close attention to Rebuses with text
and words reading up and down and being displayed on its side.
E
K
A
W
“Wake” is displayed with the letters reading upward, which means this represents “wake
up“.

Background Direction
TEEF
information
TEEF
Two “Feet” in the Left direction, to give the answer Two Left Feet.
Size
Some Rebuses that have large or small words or symbols may be used to
convey concepts like big, small, skinny, wide, et cetera.
DEAL
“Deal” is displayed in really big font, which means this represents “big deal”.
Repetition (Number(s))
Some rebuses contain multiples of words, and the number of times the word
appears can usually be interpreted as a word or part of a word in the phrase.
The number is sometimes replaced with like-sounding words (see homophones
above) in the phrase.
Funny Funny
Words Words
Words Words
2 “Funny” 4 “Words”, and so the answer is Too Funny For Words.
TIRED TIRED WALK WALK

“Tired” and “walk” show up two times each. Sometimes this just represents the
word “two”, but sometimes it could represent the like-sounding words “too” or “to”
instead. In this case, this represents “too tired to walk”.
Colour
You may find sometimes a Rebus might have words or symbols that are not in the
standard black, then you can expect the colour to be a relevant in the answer.
Sometimes Rebus puzzles may make use of somewhat more obscure colour names
like Rose.
“Tickled” is Pink so the answer is Tickled Pink.

Rebus Puzzle

Background
information Homophones
Rebuses sometimes lead you to a word that sounds like (but is not spelled like)
another word or part of another word. Tougher and more creative rebuses use
this quite often.
11111
A TIME
A bunch of 1’s are on top of the word “TIME”. “Ones” sounds like “once”, which
means this represents “once upon a time”.
YYYMEN
There are three Y’s, and “Y’s” sounds like “wise”, so this represents “three wise men”.
Font Style
The style of the font is sometimes relevant. It might represent other words
such as tall, petite, thin, slanted, bold etc.
The “Skinny” letters in the example makes the answer Skinny Dipping.
There are many, many more ways a puzzle designer can cleverly represent a a
hidden meaning. Some more challenging rebus puzzles may include words that are
there just to provide context, or you may have to replace a word with a synonym.

Diorama Hobbit's House
LINKS TO THE BOOK
Hobbits Lifestyle
InTolkien's fiction, the Shire is described as a small but beautiful, idyllic and fruitful land,
beloved by its hobbit inhabitants. They had agriculture but were not industrialized. The
landscape included downland and woods like the English countryside. The Shire was fully
inland; most hobbits feared the Sea. In the Shire, hobbits had settled with a closed and
comfort-loving lifestyle; they were fond of an unadventurous bucolic life of farming, eating,
smoking pipe-weed, socializing and talking about genealogies. Hobbits also liked to drink ale in
inns, and ate at least six meals a day when they could get them.Though some hobbits live in
houses, they traditionally live in holes in the ground. The holes are not dank and smelly but
comfortable, cozy underground dwellings with all the amenities of their aboveground
counterparts. The hole occupied by the hobbit known as Bilbo Baggins is called Bag End.
BUILD A HOBBIT'S HOUSE
Improve designing and constructional skills.

Objectives Use recycled materials for the diorama.
A diorama is a replica of a scene, typically a three-dimensional full-size or

miniature model, sometimes enclosed in a glass showcase for a museum.
Overview Dioramas are often built by hobbyists as part of related hobbies such as
military vehicle modeling, miniature figure modeling, or aircraft modeling.
Dioramas are models that have been created to replicate a scene in 3D (three-
dimensionally). They cover the gamut in size. Dioramas can be miniatures (i.e.,
showcasing a re-enactment of a war scene) or they can be life-sized (i.e.,
replicating animals in a particular natural setting).
How to build a diorama?
Instructions
1. Decide on a theme for your diorama.
2. Research the topic.
3. Create a plan and/or sketch out what you want it to look like.
4. Gather all your supplies. ...
5. Paint or decorate the base.
6. Build up the setting. ...
7. Add figurines or objects to the foreground.
The word “diorama” originated in 1823 as a type of picture-viewing device,

Vocabulary from the French in 1822. The word literally means “through that which is
seen”, from the Greek di- “through” + orama “that which is seen, a sight”.

A Road Trip
LINKS TO THE BOOK
The Road
Early in the journey, Frodo recalls how Bilbo always used to warn, “It’s a dangerous business,
Frodo, going out of your door. You step into the Road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there is
no knowing where you might be swept off to.” The Lord of the Rings shares this motif of the
road and the quest with many of the great epics that precede it. The vast majority of all quests
depend on a road or journey of some kind or another. The road takes the hobbits out from the
familiar confines of the Shire and into the unknown, where, like all epic heroes, they are tested.
It exposes them to previously unthinkable dangers but also to the unimaginable beauty of
places. More than a physical means of travel and a narrative means of advancing the plot, the
road also emphasizes the fact that nothing stands still in Tolkien’s universe; everything is in
constant motion.

Mirror Maze Challenge
LINKS TO THE BOOK
The Mirror of Galadriel
Galadriel’s mirror serves as a symbol of the ambiguity of the gift of knowledge and the
ultimate incomprehensibility of fate. It is impossible to try to escape what is shown in the
mirror. The only matter of importance regarding the knowledge the mirror reveals is what one
ultimately does with that knowledge—whether one uses it responsibly, or toward evil ends.
SOLVE A MIRROR MAZE CHALLENGE WITH THE LAW OF REFLECTION
Understand and explain the law of reflection.

Objectives Guide a light beam through a maze using mirrors.
When light interacts with an object, it can be absorbed,

transmitted, or reflected. This activity focuses on materials
Overview that reflect light. Students will use mirrors and flashlights to
investigate how light is reflected from a surface. By doing
that, they will discover that when a light ray hits a reflective
surface, its angle of incidence is equal to the angle of
reflection, which is stated by the law of reflection. Students
will then use their gained knowledge in a mirror maze
challenge where they have to find a way to guide a light
beam through a maze in order to hit a specific target.
Angle of incidence: The angle that is formed by the light

Vocabulary ray falling onto the reflecting surface and the line
perpendicular to that surface (the normal line).
Angle of reflection: The angle that is formed by the light
rays bouncing back from the reflective surface and the
line perpendicular to that surface (the normal line).
Normal line: The imaginary line perpendicular to the
reflective surface.

Light mostly travels through space in straight lines. This is

Background why, in physics, the concept of light rays is commonly used.
information In this concept, a light ray is represented as a straight line or
arrow pointing away from the light source, which indicates
the direction of light. A bundle of parallel light rays is called a
beam of light. Picturing light as lines makes it possible to
illustrate what happens if light hits an object that is in its way.

2020-1-LT01-KA229-078054
LINKS TO THE BOOK
Materials can interact with light in different ways. Once light hits a
Background material, the light can either be absorbed, transmitted, or reflected.
information Often, a combination of absorption, transmission, and reflection
happens. How we see a material depends on how the light interacts
with the object. We can only see materials that reflect or bounce
back at least some light, or materials that emit light themselves. The
reflection of light is similar to the bouncing of a ball in that the
angle at which the light hits the reflecting surface is identical to the
angle at which it bounces off of it . This circumstance is called the
law of reflection. The angle that is formed by the light hitting the
reflecting surface and the normal line (the line orthogonal to the
surface) is called the angle of incidence, whereas the angle between
the light bouncing back from the reflective surface and the normal
line is called the angle of reflection. Both angles are always equal.
Also, the reflected ray, the incident ray, and the normal line all lie in
the same plane, the plane of incidence.
A mirror is a perfect example of reflection on a smooth material.

Because it is so smooth, all light reflects at the same angle giving
the material a shiny appearance. Materials that do not have a
smooth surface reflect light in a diffuse way. Bumps on their
surfaces cause light to reflect in many directions. These materials
appear matte.
Using the law of reflection, you can predict where a light ray will go
after hitting a smooth, reflective surface such as a mirror. In fact,
you can draw a diagram of the light's path through a mirror maze if
the incident angle for the first mirror is known.

2020-1-LT01-KA229-078054
In this activity students will first investigate the law of reflection with mirrors,
construction paper, and a flashlight. Then they will use their gained knowledge in a
mirror maze challenge, where they have to use several mirrors to guide a light beam
through a maze to hit a specific target.
PART 1: INVESTIGATING THE LAW OF REFLECTION
Students are divided into the groups. Each group uses one small mirror
1 square, one flashlight, and a piece of colored construction paper.
Lay the mirror flat on the table with the shiny side up. Hold the flashlight
2 at an angle pointing down toward the mirror. Using the construction
paper catch the reflected light in order to pinpoint exactly where it goes.
Look for a pattern of how the light is reflected off the mirror dependent on
3 how the flashlight is angled toward the mirror. Use the string to visualize
the normal line and the construction paper to catch the reflected light.
4 Formulate a general law of reflection.
Draw a light path diagram on their student worksheet that illustrates the
5 law of reflection.
Reflection:
How do you know where to hold the construction paper to catch the light?
What happens when you hold the flashlight at a different angle?
What is the relationship between how you hold the flashlight and where the
light goes?

2020-1-LT01-KA229-078054
PART 2: USING THE LAW OF REFLECTION TO SOLVE A MIRROR MAZE
CHALLENGE
Find the shortest light path through the maze using the least number of reflective
surfaces.
Note: The mirrors will reflect the light better than the aluminum foil as the wrinkles in
the foil lead to a more diffuse reflection. Not all reflective materials reflect light in the
same way.
Using all the materials you needed set up the maze as pictured on the
1 maze template. Clothespins or binder clips can be used to make the mirrors
stand up.
2 Make sure all the obstacles are placed at the correct locations.
3 Brainstorm how the mirrors and aluminum foil could be used to steer the
light beam to the target. Draw your mirror setup and the predicted light
path based on the law of reflection.
Build the prototype solution using the setup that have been proposed in
4 your chosen design.
Use the flashlight and test your design. Observe if the light beam covers
5 the whole bullseye target and also measure the length of the light path
with a ruler or yardstick.
Discuss: What works well in our design? What does not work well in our
6 design?nHow can our design be improved?Could the number of reflective
surfaces be reduced in our design? Could the path of light be shortened in our
design?
7 Modify and improve the design on the basis of test results.
8 Demonstrate and explain your design solution.

Design requirements:
Does light beam start in entrance window, at a 90-degree

angle with the border line?
Does light beam cover the whole bullseye target?

Character transformation and character pairs
Characters often occur in pairs in the story. Pairs of friends, such as Sam and Frodo, or Legolas
and Gimli, show the comfort to be found in friendship, even a bond between unlikely friends
such as a Dwarf and an Elf. Pairs of characters also show the effect of good versus evil
choices: Gollum is a hobbit-like creature who gave in to the Ring's corruption, while Frodo
shows what the same type of person looks like if he resists evil. Saruman shows what a wizard
is like when he makes evil choices and becomes corrupt, while Gandalf shows what the
influence of good can do. Boromir shows how the Ring can corrupt a man, while Faramir
shows what happens to a man when he resists its evil.

Background photographs on film). Traditional editing, such as airbrushing, is
done by hand. Now photo editing is done by programs such as
information Photoshop, Gimp, Microsoft Paint and others or by Apps on mobile

Crop your images and clean them up.
Adjust white balance.
Adjust exposure and contrast.
Adjust color vibrancy and saturation.
Sharpen images.
Finalize and share.
But here's the primary difference between photo editing and photo
manipulation: Photo editing improves the quality of the images,
whereas photo manipulation makes modifications to the image
itself– by adding or removing elements. Photo editing requires
simple imagery tools to fix the brightness or contrast.
Photo manipulation is the process of editing a photo to change its
appearance. This can be done for a variety of reasons, such as to
make a photo look better, to make it look more like a different
photo, or to change the meaning of the photo.

In this activity students will first take a self-portrait or portrait of their friend using their
phone and then modify it using various mobile applications (changing colours, shapes,
etc.). Then they will prepare a text (favourite quote, passage from a book, a song, their
own sentences that illustrate their thoughts and personality). After that the printed
photos will be attached to an A2 sheet and transformed in various ways (drawing,
painting, collage, spatial art, etc.). At the end the students will organise a joint
exhibition of their work, where they will compare different artistic styles, thoughts,
ideas, values and discover similarities and differences between the works
Students work individually. Each students takes self-portrait or portrait of

collage, etc.
5 Students present and display their works.
Reflection:
How we can express and visualize our unique thoughts, soul and identity,
using photography, text and various artistic styles to show society's
diversity?
How we can continue to work with portraits on a smart device and connect
them with our normal creation process?
Do the prepared art works place more emphasis on form (the visual level) or
the content (the meaning level)?
