Wednesday

11/24/10

Freshmen:
We talked about your Narrative, which we began brainstorming for on Monday. Here is the Narrative Criteria Sheet, which I showed you in class. This will be used when I score your final drafts.
HW: Your typed, double spaced almost-final draft will be due in class on Tuesday. We will take a look at these in class and see what bits of editing need to be done before the final draft is handed in on Wednesday.

AP Lit:
We went and checked out Beowulf books. If you were absent, or unable to get yours, here is a link to an online text so that you can stay caught up on the reading. It's not the same translation as those in our book room, but it will do to keep you caught up. Then, we watched this, just to get a feel for what a performance from a scop might have been like. I assigned you each a symbol to keep track of and trace as you read. Follow the instructions here. Then, we began reading the Prologue and Part 1 together.
HW: For Monday, read through Part 18 and take notes on what's happening and the symbol you are following.
