Beowulf PART II - Projects

In groups of 2-3, you will create a power point presentation (with voice recordings) that retells the story of PART II - Grendel's mother.  Do not leave anything out this means:

1) Include all the things that happen with Grendel's mother
2) Include the stories of the digressions
3) Hrothogar's sermon

Further you need to include the following:

1) The sword and the story on the hilt
2) A brief discussion w/ examples of Kennings found in this section (think definition, 3-5 really good examples and explanation of why they are used and what they mean)
3) List of characters (with photos or pictures).  Music.  Pictures of setting.
4) Discuss of the parallelism of Heorot w/ Grendel's home.  How is this a symbol.
5) Discuss 3 themes and give examples of where they appear and how they are reinforced.
