Week of 10/3-10/7

Hello Students,

Tomorrow as you know, we will hopefully be finishing the movie Beowulf (I do not have the TV for Tuesday). Also, tomorrow you will be receiving a vocabulary assignment that is due THURSDAY! Tuesday and Wednesday we will be doing discussion-group work as well as large class discussions on both the epic poem and the film adaptation. Wednesday, we will begin writing a critical review of the movie's portrayal of the epic poem Beowulf. Friday we will have a vocabulary quiz after going over the information in the vocabulary assignment on Thursday. See you all tomorrow!

Monday: Beowulf Film (ending)
Tuesday: Discuss Literature vs. Film and writing a critical review
Wednesday: Beginning College Essays- Heroes
Thursday: Vocabulary assignment due/ Vocabulary Activity
Friday: Vocabulary Quiz/ College Essays

***DUE TO TESTING: THERE IS A DIFFERENT SCHEDULE. Periods 2 & 9 will not be meeting with me on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Therefore you shall still be responsible and hand in the vocabulary packet on Friday. We will still be having a quiz, but most likely it will be at the end of the period after we do a review and work through the packet as a class to discuss the definitions of the assigned vocabulary terms. 


Over weekend, you will have to find a college essay topic of your choice, and complete some pre-writing tasks, brainstorming, and a first rough draft. should be approximately one page in length.
