Aaaachooo! We sneezed out Sneeze #5 today, and then we spent about ten minutes editing and revising ONE of those sneezes so that Cap’n Riley can grade it. Edit it so that it is mechanically sound (spelling, grammar, punctuation, run ons, sentence structure, etc) and revise it to fix confusing sentences, take away unnecessary stuff, or add to it.

We then read The Battle with Grendel – it took about twelve minutes. Not bad at all. And it made me hungry for chicken legs – that’s actually what I had for lunch today! It was FATED!

We ended the day doing an Open Mind Diagram for Beowulf.

• Do this in PowerPoint. Make sure it is Portrait, not Landscaped.
• Find an outline of a head or profile.
• Find three images that represent Beowulf.
• Around each image, write four words or phrases. If you use phrases, I want no more than 3 words in the phrase. (3 images X 4 words = 12 words total).
• Two quotes that are correctly cited that show Beowulf’s personality or his actions.

 

The rubric is in LMS if you want to see specifics.
