Choose one of the following characters to sketch: Grendel’s mother, Grendel, or one of the Geats soliders who went with Beowulf to fight Grendel.

What is his/her occupation?

Does he/she have family?

What is his/her greatest fear and greatest dream?

Who is his/her hero?

Is he/she shy? Outgoing? Loud? Matter of fact?

What does he/she feel about Grendel?

What does he/she feel about Beowulf?

What does this character believe about life after death?

What was the character’s life like growing up?

What is his/her favorite food?
  • We shared our character sketches in groups.
  • Each group choose one to be read aloud.
