Today was a fairly easy day: I gave a vocabulary activity with the six (6) vocabulary words that we focused on in Beowulf:

  • Loathsome
  • Writhing
  • Massive
  • Reparations
  • Purge
  • Solace

One one side of the assignment, I asked a question for each vocabulary word. On the back, I had a list of images and asked you to match the picture that “matches” the vocabulary word.

Tomorrow, if you are passing, you’ll get to go to the play preview. If not, you’ll be working on zeros. You *will* see these vocabulary words on the test next Tuesday, so please don’t treat this as a blow off assignment. This should not take you the entire class period to do, so hopefully those of you who are missing work can take care of your business afterwards!

We read The Coming of Beowulf today (pages 44-48). You can either read along with my projector, the text in OneNote, or in the textbook.

We talked about Beowulf’s boast, how he is confident, not cocky, and the vocabulary word purge.

Make sure that if you are missing days, that you get caught up. I promise, if you think it’s boring reading Beowulf in class is, it’s going to ten times more boring if you are reading it on your own.

If you are taking or posting pictures of class on social media, please use the hashtag #readwriteriley in order to get gold for Classcraft! You might even see them show up on my blog! 😉

You can find this BB > Beowulf > Beo-Boast. Don’t worry about complete sentences – you can just list.

This is mine. You can write yours either in a Word document and turn that in, or you can just write your notes in the Comment section of the drop bop.

We have had three daily assignments so far, and we are starting our FIRST major grade tomorrow! The Beo-Boast!
