TODAY IN CLASS
Student readers got us started by reading the parts of Beowulf, Hrothgar, and the narrator in Section 24.  And we talked about key ideas and possible bullet points if it had been specifically assigned to summarize.
I have the promised hand-out concerning the material for Sections 25-30; students could cross check-with their prepared homework, or cross check with what they thought was happening in the story.

TOMORROW
There will be a brief time (15 minutes max) to answer specific questions about discrepancies or things you don't understand about 25-30.  The rest of the class period will be individual (silent) work time to get started on the written work due (and to be collected!) for Monday.

SO that work--use between 2 and 5 bullet points (as needed for coverage and clarity) for the rest of the book:  Sections 31-43.  You should get 5 or 6 of these done in class tomorrow; the rest will be homework for Monday.

Requirements:

• Summarize accurately but concisely
• Provide LINE numbers (not page numbers) for each bullet point
•  I didn't give line numbers for the "last chunk," but I want you to give the line numbers for EVERY set of lines that you bullet.
• If you really think that six bullets would work better than five, fine--but the idea is really to see the twists and turns of thought straight by summarizing rather than tying to list every detail.
