The Rapping Ork

After witnessing the spectacle of boulder acting, I should not be surprise to see ork become a rapper, Beowulf go through a job interview in which he noted that "he does not work well with other," and a stealthy Grendel donning a bib before losing his arm to Beowulf. Congrats to Izzy and Emma for having the best reenactment of Grendel today! During the rest of class, which was forced to a moratorium due to a fire drill, we analyzed a few more chapters of Grendel. Second hour, for homework, you will need to read and annotate "The Wife's Lament" for tomorrow's class. This will be our last Anglo Saxon text prior to the big essay assignment.

If absent today, you will need to select the most significant scene from chapters 6-12. 1. Write a one paragraph summary of the scene. 2. Write a retelling of the scene from another character's perspective. This will make up for any participation points from today's multi-layered analysis.
