September 27 ... Beowulf: Grendel's Mother & Beowulf's Final Battle (And Beowulf Test Review)

OBJ ... Students will analyze elements of the Anglo-Saxon period and will make connections with the notion of the Epic Hero as they read selections from "Beowulf"


WARM-UP ...

Make sure you have a copy of the textbook and get a copy of the Test Review from the back table.



TODAY ...

Students will begin reading and analyzing "Beowulf"

  • The second section (at least for our purposes) begins on page 55.

IF you want to use an audio version of the book as you read, there is one on You Tube that follows the textbook ... however, since it's on YouTube, you cannot access it with the laptops and would have to probably use your own data to get to it.  That's optional ... completely up to you ... but the link is below: 


READING SCHEDULE ...

  • Part II - Pages 55-70 and questions titled ":Grendel's Mother and The Final Battle"
    • Begin on Tuesday and finish on Wednesday
    • SCRATCH QUESTIONS 17 & 27
  • BEOWULF/ANGLO SAXON PERIOD/EPIC HERO TEST - THURSDAY 9/29
    • WORK ON THE REVIEW AS YOU WORK ON THE READING QUESTIONS - there will be some degree of overlap, plus it should save you some time in the long run
    • Reading Questions AND the Test Review are due prior to the test on Thursday

As you read, feel free to use ancillary resources to assist you in finding answers to the questions - or to just search using Google.  You are responsible for reading the material - however, you may find your answers for the questions as necessary.
