We're going to continue our work with Beowulf today.
You should have it open in notability. Do not forget that
you should be:
- highlighting pieces of the text that you do not understand;
- Discussing these parts with your group;
- Writing down what you learned in the margins; and
- Filling out the "Sum It Up" boxes on each page
After everyone is finished, your group will create a four-corners
summary of Beowulf. You will each write a summary, and then work
together to create a detailed summary together.
Then we will start our new poem "Casey at the Bat,"
a mock-epic poem.

If you're interested in hearing "Beowulf" in its original
Old English, here is a video of a performance of the
opening lines. It sounds like a completely different language!
