Since our ship was destroyed by the dragon, we decided to hitch a ride with some Vikings back to Sweden to meet their King – Beowulf. Supposedly, he’s pretty generous and might even give us a ship!

So, on our way to travel to Sweden, we learn a little about this king. WE hear that he is EPIC. Epic? EPIC? What does that mean? I guess we better figure this out before we meet him.

We watched “the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny” and made of  list of of the hard core people and hard core things they did.

THIS WAS EPIC!

To drive home the point, we then highlighted notes from the textbook – called Epic Hero.

We then chose an epic hero from tv, movies, or from real life and filled in the blanks about him/her. Make sure you draw an object in the hand!

Lastly, we wrote an acrostic poem on the back of the Epic Dude that describes elements of an epic poem. Make sure that this information comes from textbook highlights and not over your specific hero. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS.
