Turnitin.com Deadline Tonight!

TODAY IN CLASS
1. Paper copies of revised personal essays were turned in, together with the support material (cover sheet, first draft, peer response).  Many of you have already submitted to turnitin.com, but if you have NOT, don't forget!  And don't wait until the last few minutes, please.  It closes at 11:59 p.m. tonight, Thursday, Oct. 18.

2.  Announcement of a quiz over Beowulf and related material on Monday, Oct. 22:

  • Pages 38-41 in the actual textbook
  • From the full text of Beowulf:  quiz covers Prologue through Section 18 only (we will be beyond that by Monday)
  • The powerpoint on the background of the text we did today  Beowulf powerpoint  (I don't know why the text shows errors that are not on the actual saved powerpoint.  I've checked, re-saved, and re-uploaded to Google Drive three times.)
3.  You can see the page to the right is the first page of the poem, beginning Hwaet  We Gardena 

FOR TOMORROW
  • Everyone absolutely needs to read sections 15-18; 1st has already accomplished that, and maybe 5th; I don't know about 3rd because of the survey on Tuesday.  
  • Do your best to read up through 22.  I cannot promise the lack of plot spoilers.  
NEXT WEEK'S READINGS 
For Monday:  just the quiz PLUS reading time
For Tuesday:  23-31 (yes--longer; that's why there will be some reading time)
For Wednesday:  32-39
For Thursday:  40-43
Friday:  finishing up Beowulf
