Today, we finished Dead Poets Society!

O Captain, my Captain!

We added to the foldable today. If you missed today or didn’t get it all written down, make sure you get the information either from my foldable or from a classmates.

We watched a clip from Secondhand Lions (one of my favorite movies) and talked about how Beowulf is now old, but he’s still strong and capable.

we read The Last Battle, The Spoils, and the Farewell today.

We also finished the last section of Legowulf and watched a video about Antoine Dodson and watched the Mead Hall Intruder – a student created parody over Beowulf’s first battle with Grendel.

Then, I had my classes come up with textual questions over Beowulf to ask me. If you could stump me with the question, I’d give the class an extra point. 1st block ended up getting 6 (!) points by asking really detailed questions. 2nd block kept trying to cheat (and some didn’t even ask me questions!) and they only got 2.5 points.

Tomorrow? We start watching the 13th Warrior!
