2/9/2015 – B

Since we finished watching The Bucket List last week, we started pre-writing for our essay tomorrow. Basically, what I did was rewrite the pre-writing that I had for Term 2 – It wasn’t effective, and I don’t like giving out work that doesn’t HELP you, ya’ know?

So, this is a new pre-writing activity. I honestly don’t know how long it will take you guys. You’ll notice that Section 6 is messed up – just skip that one for now. I obviously got distracted and my brain skipped a beat while writing.

Hopefully, this will help you write the actual essay tomorrow!

Shout out to Louis, who got his first tattoo(s) on Friday after our conversation about tattoos in class! Carpe inkum! Gosh, my class is so relevant. 😉

Today, we read about Grendel’s Mother.And I got to show off my EPIC pencil – so AWESOME that no ordinary student can write with it!

Things we talked about:

  • how long a Navy Seal can hold his breath
  • I was wrong! From what I read, ALL Navy Seals have to be men
  • Beowulf’s will
  • Hrothgar’s gift giving
  • Beowulf’s focus on his people (if he dies)
  • Why Beowulf is so focused on fame
  • Unferth’s wergild (Hrunting)
  • Beowulf’s numerous failures
  • loyalty of the Geats

Then, I gave you time to work. You had about an hour. If you did not turn in your Beo-Boast, that should be your priority since progress reports come out tomorrow. If that was turned in, then go ahead and get started on your Metaphorical Response.
