So today we started out by reviewing our responses to the Titanic poem. We also went over the six-point essay marking scale. On the overhead projector we saw all the possible responses to the poem. I don't know about you guys, but most of those points did not occur to me.
After that we discussed the whole Day 1, Day 2, problem.
Mrs. Loconte then showed us some power point slides on Beowulf. We paid extra attention to "kennings" since that was one of the more puzzling questions. Lastly we reviewed the homework questions, and ended up spending a lot of time discussing the fall of Satan, repentance, and the contrast between good and evil. 2,996 people died in the 9/11 terrorist attack 11 years ago. 2,977 were victims. We did not get to the section about The Coming of Beowulf. We didn't even finish The Coming of Grendel. I guess we'll finish that on Thursday. Since we all did the homework we got a marble, so good job everyone and keep up the good work.
Today's Homework:
- Read Unferth's Taunt and do the corresponding questions in your package.
