Brit Lit:

Today in class:

We began our discution on the history of stories. We played a modified version of telephone pretending that you were all small villages. The story was passed around in two parts. This was to illustrate the change that happens in the oral tradition. It also led to our discusion on the written word.

I had you write a short one page story that had a unique setting, 2 characters, and the conflict of lying. Please finish these for Monday.

Meanwhile, here is the link for what Beowulf sounded like:
