For Monday, November 18

Read up through Chapter 18 in Beowulf.  Do not get bogged down with the "ancient story" of the Frisians.  We will talk about that story and draw a diagram of its details on Monday.  Pay attention to the Kingly traits of Siegmund and the negative traits of Hermod.

Write a 1 1/2 page letter home to your parents from Hrothgar's Court.  Pretend and get creative.  Our class has taken a trip to see the Danes and Geats gathered at Hrothgar's Court.  You decide whether Beowulf has killed Grendel yet or not.

We probably landed there in our 20th century clothing, so we will need to find garments to wear in order to "fit in."  What might have happened so far on our field trip?  What adventures have you and your classmates been on?  How long do you plan to stay?  Did you happen to fall in love while you were there?

Please do not answer each of those questions literally; I am just trying to get you thinking.  Use a kenning or two.  Write with some alliteration.  Include all your classmates.

Thank you for working so hard on your C.S. Lewis essays.  I am proud of you!
