English 4 & 4H:

Following are the sub plans for the class as the teacher was unavailable.

  1. Assignment is in the literature book on the back shelf. Students will have to share, but no more than two students per book.
  2. Read Beowulf and related stories from page 38 to page 67.
    1. This assignment should be more than they can complete in one hour, but I do expect them to get at least through page 50 as a minimum.
    2. Answer all margin questions labeled "A" through "Y." These questions are in the margin to the right of the text with the definitions.
    3. Answer all end questions on pages 50, 57, and 67.
  3. Stop 5 to 10 minutes before the end of class.
    1. Have students write an exit journal explaining why they believe Beowulf was so important that it was told orally for hundreds of years before it was written down, and why it is still important enough to be put in a literature book today.
      1. This is a "best guess" journal. However, I expect students to give good reasons to support their guess.
  4. Have students turn in all their work before they leave.
