In-Class:

  • Students turned in their final persuasive essays. 
  • Journal: What makes someone a "bad guy"? Are people born that way? Is it environmental? Can people change?
  • We had a very lively Socratic dialogue talking about the journal prompt.
  • We talked about the background of Beowulf and studied the literary device, "Kenning." Students completed a worksheet that they passed around the class, voting for their favorite kenning from each peer.  I read the favorites aloud.
  • We started reading Beowulf, lines 1-30, and began a worksheet. We got a s far as filling out the chart on the top. I collected the papers for us to continue on Friday.
