TODAY IN CLASS
1.  New hand-out for the out-of-class essay due at 11:59 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 12.  Hard copy due on Tuesday, Nov. 13.

2.  Time to read background material (pp. 97-98)  and an excerpt from "A History of the English Church and People" (pp. 98-100) by a person known as "the Venerable Bede."

FOR TOMORROW
Study the topics, consider what each one involves, and make a decision on what you plan to pursue.  Make at least a starter effort to gather material/details from the text that would apply to the essay.  NOTE WELL:  this is not any form of "research essay."  Do not look things up.  Use only your text of Beowulf or the comitatus article I handed out.
