Riley gave out XP today! A few things to remember – when you turn work in, turn your work in the BROWN BOX near the door. She isn’t going to go digging in your folder to find your work before she grades it.
- Turn Work in Here
Make sure that if you have any questions, concerns, or grade changes, send Riley a message in Edmodo. That gets sent directly to her phone via text message, so she won’t lose or forget that.
As far as the game is concerned, we are on our way to meet the epic King, Beowulf. We are all prepared. We have chain mail and we know how the bards will speak to us. All we have to do is write our introductions!
We are going to use Where I’m From as a model and write our own Where I’m From poem. She gave us 20 minutes to brainstorm and write our first draft. She did assure us that we would have time to finish the rough draft tomorrow.
Back to the game. We were walking down to meet the king when all of a sudden, a young punk kid trips Captain Riley. She made people roll to see if they lost COMPOSURE and attacked the kid. Sadly, in every class, we have people who lost control of themselves and attacked the kid.
His parents came up and demanded WERGILD. Wergild was needed because it was so violent back then and kept people from feuding.
Riley then made us create skits that demonstrated wergild. First block was the only crew that made it through! 2nd block didn’t even get to it, and 3rd block got halfway through.
