Today - we'll talk about the SAGA Hrolf Kraki and make some connection with Beowulf. I'll also discuss the history of SAGAs and why some many exist.
For Hrolf Kraki your assignment will be to read 10 pages a night and keep a Dialectical Reading Journal. You'll need 25 entries in your journal. Note - the reading journal is a device/a strategy to is suppose to help you keep tract of what goes on in the story.
Remember: 1) Pay close attention to the text. Whenever you see something that interests you, whether it is a detail that jumps out at you, a weird twist of plot, something a character said that seemed strange, something that appeared to represent a theme, or something that look like a symbol, or literary device - write it down and its page number, and then 2) write down your interpretation of the quote. Or your question regarding the quote. 3) Last, write down all new characters that appear with a brief description of who they are. This last point is important because a lot of characters appear in this book and keeping tract of them is important.
The Journal is a project grade and is worth 2 points per entry (or a total of 50 points).
