TODAY IN CLASS
First order of business on Monday:  Quiz--see Thursday's post for what it was to cover

Second part of Monday--Individual work time on the following list. Students were supposed to have completed the study questions (for personal notes; for use in class discussion and in review) by today, but the reality was that many had not.  But there were several new things added.  Here's the complete list:

FOR TOMORROW
1.  If you had not done so-finish the personal notes on the Section 13-Section 22 set of of questions.  You need to adjust the line numbers for the following:
#18--refers to lines 1570-1589
#19--refers to lines 1590-1605

2.  Do (or re-copy)#22-23 on the half-sheets of paper (on on each side); if you were absent, use any blank paper you wish.  These do not need to be "artistic," but they do need to reflect what the text actually says.
I will collect these drawings at the start of class.

3. Read the "Comitatus" article--it is part of the informational/non-literary side of our curriculum, but the subject matter applies to our work with Beowulf. You will need this material for either the essay portion of the final unit test, or for the out-of-class short essay.  And the term comitatus will count as one of the important concepts to know.

4.  The reading schedule as given last week:
Sections 23-31 for Tuesday
Sections 32-39 for Wednesday

The new reality--we won't get beyond about 25 on Tuesday--BUT be up to speed for Wednesday

By Friday, you need to FINISH the reading (end of Section 43).  Of course, discussion and assessment of various sorts will continue into the last week of October.
