Tolkien in school? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

As a future English teacher, I am planning to teach Tolkien to some degree. I agree with previous comments that some students dislike books they are forced to read, so I would try to avoid drilling them, but I think it is an important piece of British Literature, besides being truly fascinating.

I am going to try to talk my English prof. into allowing me to do an Honors project on Tolkien, so if anyone has any good suggestions for topics, let me know.
