2: After our little drill, in which Anna became the designated teacher for me, we returned to class and finished our analysis of "The Wife's Lament," noting repeating symbols, characterization, and themes. In addition, we clarified the Anglo-Saxon ideologies of community, warrior culture, and pagan societies. To end the hour, you received your New Historicist essay assignment. For your essay, you will select one of the Anglo-Saxon ideologies (community, warrior, storytellers, monster, epic hero, etc.) and analyze its initial meaning and its reinterpretation via at least two texts. The first draft will be needed for Thursday's block class; the final draft will be needed on October 14. Fill out the chart this weekend as a means of organizing your thoughts for the essay.
4: Check out second hour's synopsis. The only difference is that you had a vocabulary quiz to start the hour instead of a lockdown drill.
