Today, I gave students a vocabulary sheet to keep track of new words found in our readings. If you didn't get the sheet, I will give one to you when next we meet.
We didn't go over the answers to the questions on page 9 (last Thursday's homework), but we will on Wednesday. Students took some notes on Anglo-Saxon society and values; then, we read the first section of Beowulf (pp. 12-16).
For homework, students need to select a quote they think is important from that section (and state why they think it's so), note down an example of a literary device from anywhere in the section, and pose a good question on the reading, too. They should provide an answer to their question, but it need not be completely fleshed out.
