Cuándo y cómo vincularlos:
Have students read this text after they have completed Chapter 8 of The Hobbit, in order to introduce them to the idea of “the unlikely hero” as a literary motif. Pair “The Story of David and Goliath” with Chapter Eight, and ask students to compare these two unlikely heroes, David and Bilbo, and to discuss how they are able to defeat their much larger foes. How has Bilbo been changed by his confrontation with the spiders, and why do you think this change takes place?
