TODAY IN CLASS
1st and 3rd finished the comparison/contrast of Beowulf's three central battles; 5th needs to do the last section.

There was a hand-out that 3rd and 5th actually received today; first period, you will receive your hard copy tomorrow.  You do not need to print one out. (The date says 2011; I tweaked it for this year but forgot to change the label.)
Test Information

EVERYONE , though, should read the information on it and do two things as preparation:
1) Use the additional material on the epic (more on the hand-out than in your textbook) to think about all the ways in which Beowulf reflects the characteristics of an epic.

2) Reread from the death of the dragon to the end of the poem.  We will focus on that tomorrow.
