In Class:
Journal-- Illustrate either a) the battle with the dragon, or b) Beowulf's funeral.
Independently, students worked on the following activities:
* The Hero's Journey in Beowulf (worksheet)
* Write a list of traits associated with the Germanic heroic code laid out by Anglo-Saxon poetry. (E.g., A man should always match his words with his deeds, etc.). Consider especially "The Wanderer," "The Battle of Maldon," and Beowulf.
* Read Grendel through p. 72.
Exit ticket: In the very first interaction Grendel has with humans in Grendel, they mistake him for a tree fungus. What does this imply about his relationship with humankind?
Homework:
Finish the above in-class assignments and readings.
