We got some homework all up in here

Greetings, friends! Tis a joyous occasion. Today, we went over some more of those loveable characters from "Canterbury Tales" by the father of English himself, Geoffrey Chaucer. Your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to finish reading "Prologue to the Canterbury Tales" (up to page 79), and finish the corresponding character questions in the package for next class. It is also recommended that you consider which assignment you would like to do (4 options available) on the sheet that we were given today in class; the due date for which has yet to be disclosed. Have a wonderful evening, schoolmates.

TGIF

'Sup?

Today we read the last of the riddles, finished up our Beowulf packets, and then started on the Beowulf movie (did anyone else think Polar Express?). Your mission, should you choose to accept it (or not actually, you don't have a choice here), is to have read pages 41-54 and do the review questions 1-10. Moderation is key!

Have a great weekend,
Abi

Reading, reading...and more reading

Hey Hey Hey

So as the tittle explains, that is what you will be doing tonight. We covered Unferths Taunt in class today but you're challenge is to continue reading until the end, no task is gone unrewarded so you're reward is doing questions 1-10 at the end of the poem. Not too much tonight.

Good luck

#TENACIOUSTUESDAYS.

Good evening party people,
You're task of the day: read up until page 19 (stop when you hit 'Unferth's Taunt') and proceed to do questions up until page 4 of your package. Find a 'kenning' within the text (if you don't know what that is, you shoulda paid attention in class, slacker). For those of you who haven't found a riddle, WRITE ONE and get it in to Mrs. Loconte by tomorrow!

That is all, folks.

Cheers,
Char

blogger number one: ready!

So today we looked at 'Convergence of the Twain' by Thomas Hardy and agreed that it was a hard poem, but decided that it did contain some obvious examples of irony within it. We wrote about it and Mrs Loconte is going to look at our papers for non-judgmental purposes only.

We talked about why We Were Here and were introduced to the Middle Ages, some literary terms and reminded to send Mrs Loconte our gmail accounts so we can be added as authors. We also need to discuss what we will title this blog.

Our homework is to read about the Middle Ages starting on page 1 and answer the 10 questions that follow. The coining of the word "cliffhanger" is often credited to Thomas Hardy.We need to make one riddle and present it to the class, we need to write the answer on the back and hand the riddle in to Mrs Loconte. This is all due Tuesday.

Example.
