In J. R. R. Tolkien's The Fellowship of the Ring, Frodo's journey as Ringbearer begins with the formation of the fellowship of the ring

—whose members are from distant places and separate races in Middle Earth—Elves, Dwarves, Men, and Hobbits—and one wizard.

At some point in a journey, the writer must:

• separate the wheat (of researched information) from the chaff (of researched information),
  and then
• arrange the useful pieces (the wheat) of researched information into a text (which will achieve the desired consequence of the writer)
  

Overcoming an Aggregating Challenge can be done in two phases, planning and plan execution:

1. Planning is best begun when the writer is visiting The Cliffs of Guidance, but some writers choose not to plan before beginning an initial draft.
   
   
2. Ideally, the plan's execution begins with the writer's initial draft.
   • It is no great secret that professional writers change many details of their plan during that plan's execution—
     • so can you.

1. Familiarize yourself with the content of this webpage and its linked webpages.
2. Write a 300-500 word reflective essay in which you explore how you might use some of that information in three different contexts:
• when you are writing,
• when you are interacting with classmates, and
• when you are reading a text composed by a non-student writer.
3. Submit that essay to your instructor.
