TODAY IN CLASS
1st and 3rd finished up Section 4; 5th finished up Section 3 and 4. You all should "know" the action and details of the Prologue and 1-4 very thoroughly: characters, action, ability to infer more motivation or reasoning, and more familiarity with language use (kennings, alliteration, understatement, irony). And at this point you all should have READ up through Section 14 (pp. 11-21 for Wednesday; pp. 22-43 for today).
During the rest of today, all classes had significant time to work an a new hand-out containing 14 questions over sections 5-14. A few chapters did not have questions: focus on 11-12 in such detail that you can practically recite every step of the key battle, and for 13, make sure you understand why the summary I wrote down "works."
FOR TOMORROW
I will give all classes 10-15 minutes at the start of class to finish up your work. I'll expect this to be INDIVIDUAL, and I will expect silence, because I don't want people who aren't finished to simply mooch off those who did finish. I'll stamp all papers for completion, and then we'll talk about some parts of what you answered. Then I'll collect the papers.
So homework? It depends on how close to finished you got today. If you are very nearly done, then tomorrow's time should be enough.
