Brit Lit:

Journal Prompt #2:

Who is your hero and why?  What makes a modern hero?  Why do we need them?  1 page

We looked at the influence on the Angles and Saxons on early stories.  We further detailed the oral tradition, but also looked at how Christianity worked into the earliest stories songs and poems.

We identified Fear of Fate as a common theme in early tales, and looked at how this is used in The Seafarer.

We watched some of the documentary, Finding Joe.  This will lead us towards your first major writing assignment next week.  We also will be looking at the excerpt fro Beowulf early next week.

Have a great weekend...
