Okay - so we are going to work on retention of material. After the poor scores on the quiz, I'm going to have you reread section one of Beowulf (lines 1-1250) and outline it stanza by stanza.
For each stanza you will have the following: 1) List the line numbers; 2) Give a summary of the stanza; 3) List all characters who appear and briefly mention who they are/what the do; 4) List of literary devices - Kenning, Litotes, Flytes, Apositives; 4) Explanation of purpose - What theme or themes does this stanza reinforce and how?
This first will be due next Monday. You will have all class day Wednesday/Thursday and Friday to work on it. Note - your vocabulary quiz will be moved to next Tuesday.
We'll go over this in class.
