September 17, 2019

Periods 1 and 2:
After writing fluency, we read Beowulf pages 83-101.
Focus questions:

  1. Describe the queen and her characterization at this point.
  2. What is the significance of the torque given to Beowulf?
  3. Describe Grendel’s mother. 
    • Who does she kill and why is he significant?
    • What is Hrothgar’s reaction?
  4. How are the monsters portrayed on page 95?
  5. 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.
