To do list

Seniors,

Please refer to this list and make sure that you complete assignments and are prepared for class.

Wednesday: There is a quiz on the first few sections of Beowulf. Pages 24-38 will be covered.

Revised drafts must be typed and turned in at the beginning of class. If you are satisfied with the first draft's grade, you may turn in the final draft on Friday. Remember to keep your rough drafts and turn them in with the final draft I marked so that I can clearly see where you revised the content.

Thursday: Before coming to class, read "The Battle with the Dragon" on pages 38-49. Draw the dragon and remember to stay true to the text's description. Your drawing will prove that you paid careful attention to the details and understood the passage. In addition to drawing the dragon, explain how the dragon reflects certain aspects of Beowulf's character. What does the dragon symbolize?

Friday: We shall review for the test on Beowulf. Final essay drafts are due at the beginning of class. The essays must be typed and double spaced or I will not accept them.

Monday: Test on Beowulf
