Hound & Fawn

After copying unit 4 down and assigning the new words for Monday's new round of vocab experts, we spent the majority of the time discussing Achilles, Hector, and Athena and their part in the conflict of a demigod, a man, and the goddess who likes to rule the roost. Topics of discussion centered around the epic simile starting the passage, the hound and the fawn, that creates the characterization of Achilles and Hector, how gods and goddesses have a role in this text in comparison to other Anglo-Saxon epics, and the tone surrounding these two main men. For those absent, I will need to see your note from The Iliad to garner your participation points for the day. For homework, you are to read and note Chapters 1-4 in Grendel. Don't have a text?
