After writing fluency, we read Beowulf pages 83-101.
Focus questions:
- Describe the queen and her characterization at this point.
- What is the significance of the torque given to Beowulf?
- Describe Grendel’s mother.
- Who does she kill and why is he significant?
- What is Hrothgar’s reaction?
- How are the monsters portrayed on page 95?
- Describe the mere. What is the mood presented here?
With some time left, the instructions were to catch up on dialectal journal entries.
Periods 3 and 4:
After fluency writing, we did an activity called affinity mapping. It was an in-class collaborative activity so if you missed it, you missed it.
Remember to read up to page 121 and submit your symposium question here.
Period 6:
Please check Google Classroom.
Add the two assignments to your notebook and table of contents. Please read the excerpt "Steak" by Jim Gaffigan. Consider the traits of a memoir (what makes this story a memoir?) and how it is organized around a central idea/topic (steak). You will be responding to the prompts in Google Classroom in class tomorrow.
