WARM UP ... College Word of the Day ... Complete a CWoD Concept Map for the following term:
CWoD ... OFFICIOUS
TODAY ...
- Cellphone policy review - 5/5 ... 5 at the beginning of class WHILE you get started for the day and work on the warm-up ... 5 at the end of the period WHILE you finish up and put up for the day. It isn't 10 minutes of cell phone free time ... just me being considerate in case you have personal business to deal with or need to text work, home, etc. It can go away.
- On TEST days and QUIZ days, phones are not allowed at all for any reason.
- Phones are not allowed during class. Earbuds/headphones are only allowed when needed to hear something on the Chromebooks - unless specific permission is granted that day.
- Finish reading Beowulf.
- "Beowulf's Last Battle" thru p. 70 should be read by the end of class on Friday.
- All reading questions will be due and must be turned in by the end of class on Friday (turn them in that day - not before).
- Complete the "Learning Log" assignment below and post to your blog (separate from today's CWoD)
- As you read, you should also continue working on the Beowulf test review - we will take the Beowulf test on Tuesday 10/13. The review itself will be a daily grade and will be turned in on test day.
- The review is on top of the Chromebook cart ... or can be found here: Beowulf Test Review
- LEARNING LOG ... Copy and answer the following questions in 2-3 sentences each in your blog:
- 1) What were the main ideas/themes of Beowulf?
- 2) What did you understand best about it?
- 3) What did you understand least about it?
- 4) How do these ideas relate to what you already knew about Anglo-Saxon England?
