September 19-23, 2011

This week we are going to get into the full swing of language arts. We will continue to read Beowulf in class and analyze the text looking for the use of oral tradition, epic hero and all that good stuff! Some things to note:

• Wednesday we will be having a test on the introductory notes and Beowulf section 1.
• Oral presentations groups must be finalized (group members/what story you will perform) by end of class Friday.
• If you have any questions, please come see me. I am in the 200s building during break and lunch. I can also meet after school if you give me notice.
