Block D:

Today: We found our journals and worked on our first topic:

Journal #1: Describe a recent event where you did something that was not based on reward or punishment, but just because it was the right thing to do. I encourage you to write about the smallest of details. Random acts of kindness....

I introduced the concept of the hero.

We discussed your reading from last night.

I broke you into 4 groups and had you act out a section from your reading in costume. This was done with a narrator telling the tale.

You can read Beowulf fast, but it is impossible to comprehend this story quickly. Take your time in your study. Remember: Fine restaurant, not McDonald's. Chew your classical works slow and appreciate all of the taste. :-)

Have a great HW free weekend!
