Pretty easy class today. I just gave you time to finish your Obituaries and then flex time to work on any missing assignments.
Priority goes to the Obituary – that’s 150 points, yo! Then the Obit Mentor Sentences!
We reviewed what we read yesterday by adding information to the foldable that we made yesterday. We added information about Hrothgar and Beowulf.
We read The Coming of Beowulf today – wow. What I can I say about Beowulf? He’s pretty awesome.
He really represents the values of the Anglo-Saxons. We talked about the difference between being COCKY and CONFIDENT – and that Beowulf was confident.
We also discussed why it was significant that Beowulf asked Hrothgar for permission to kill Grendel rather than busting in and kill stealing.
Then, I gave you some flex time to either work on missing assignments (MSG = a zero in the gradebook!) or to work on the Metaphorical Response.
