I asked you to read the next 2 seg. of Beowulf. Apparently, there are 2 diff. versions of your textbook. Please wait and I will clarify the assignment in class Thursday. I apologize for the confusion....
I have graded your epic poems- some real, real, good stuff. Most of you understand how to use a kenning, and demonstrated understanding of the Hero's Journey. For those of you who are interested, please google: The power of Myth. You can also search this on you tube if you want to see highlights from the PBS documentary that I talked about in class. Blogger will not allow me to paste a direct link for some reason.
I will have the papers that were passed in back on Thursday. If you asked to finish it at home, please do not forget to pass it in.
Soph Lit.: Continue tonight to look at your world as "Holden." We will be in the computer lab Thursday, so please make sure you have enough of your first draft done to utilize this time. HW: Please read Ch 4-5. Most of you read Ch 4 last night- Please expect a quiz.
Also, please remember that your vocab def. are due Thursday. I will be checking this in class.
Many of you have been using the word of the week in your writing assignments. You are rewarded with extra credit when you do so. If you used the word, and I missed it, please make sure that you bring this to my attention. Remember- words and education, make us stronger. A strong vocabulary is a strong compliment to your arsenal. Knowledge = POWER.
