A/B Block:

Today:

Listening to your feedback, I will be giving you 2 daily prompts to write on. Please only answer ONE:

"An optimist thinks this is the best of all worlds, the pessimist fears the same to be true." Doug Larsin (Far Side)

What are your greatest fears?

1 page.

A reminder: Failure to complete these will result in a mandatory help session after-school. Please make sure that these are complete. I will be collecting these these this Friday. Please make sure that they are all complete. Almost all of them are on the blog.

I asked you to envision what the monster Grendel might look like. I asked you to base your creature on the clues given in the story and draw a picture of the beast. I will continue to post some of the best ones....

We continued to look at the movie Beowulf and Grendel. Do you think that the film captured the tone of the original story? Why or why not.

Friday we will be using the computers in the lib. to work on your hero quest papers. Please have all notes and early drafts available. I will be using this time to also work with those that are having a hard time. These are due Monday.
