class minutes from friday the 24th

sorry that this is so late guys! i was freaking out because i just couldnt figure out how to blog, because i forgot you had to log in! ughh, but finally..
here it is:

alright so on friday we got an assignment, as well as a work sheet.
the worksheet was 4 pages (front & back) of quotes from the text Beowulf

the assignment for the quotes is:

4-5 sentences on the quotes of your choice, 5 or 6 points made about quote in each paragraph.
this should outline
1) the speaker and who was spoken to
2) when was this said, whats happening at this time?
3) cultural elements
4) any use of kennings, mention to archetype hero..etc things discussed, making connections to things we've been speaking about in class.
5) what is so signifgant about the quote or moment, an analysis of the quote.

also.
- mr. laz handed back the college essays, and said he was done as far as he was concerned and to ask him (on our own time) for extra help which he would gladly provide. how sweet!
- as well as a reminder the assignement about the riddles (whcih was covered in a previous post) is due on MONDAY! which is tomorrow, if you didnt know.
-WE ARE DONE TALKING ABOUT BEOWULF IN CLASS. THE TEST IS NEXT WEEK.

anyways..i had a thought if anyone wants to get together to discuss beowulf and study for the test it'd be awesome. is anyone interested in studying for the test sometime this week? awesome.

love,
