November 3: Assignments and Homework

In-Class:

• Journal: We did telephone Pictionary as a class.  This shows how an original message or image can get distorted as different people "tell" it. 
• We passed around each group's comic strips about Grendel's mother and wrote one sentence on the back summarizing what it looked like was happening according to the pictures. 
• We got back in our groups and either re-wrote our modern day re-telling of the story of Grendel's mother or looked at the comments made on our comic to see how effective we were in telling the story.  Those who finished early read the section in Beowulf on the battle with Grendel's mother.

Homework:

• Those absent for the group activity need to do it on their own at home.
