After vocabulary today, we finished overanalyzing the first 8 sections of Beowulf, focusing on the building motifs of light and dark, the juxtaposition of Grendel and Beowulf, and all that blood, bones, and gore left behind. Then, we underanalyzed the ending, looking more at the continuing motifs and ideologies and feeling the love for Grendel's mother.
Next, we used post it note questions to focus small group discussion on Gilgamesh and its three characters, epic similes, and motifs.
For homework, you still have your second book card due tomorrow. You also need to read The Iliad pgs. 65-76 (I think -- I am without a book at this current moment).
GRENDEL IS COMING TOMORROW!
