2: The box prompt began the class and, with its 40 minute timing, filled the majority of the class. At the end of the hour, you had in your possession the New Historicist essay assignment, a sample essay, and an outline for the essay. Bring all of that back tomorrow - we will be looking at these elements and then returning back to Grendel analysis, which means you need to finish the novel for tomorrow's class. It's the last reading assignment of the quarter, so you might as well finish it up now and not have that worry over the weekend.
4: After perusing a sample essay and how to outline the New Historicist essay, you are to complete your essay's outline for Monday's class. Meanwhile in the land of the dragon (if he's there or not), we discussed the role of this patriarchal/father figure/mentor/multiple personality/elder dragon that influences Grendel and his mentality towards life, human interaction, and time. To wrap up the hour, partners chose what chapter they will be creating 5 observational points for and a scene performance.
7: The box prompt was the majority of the class, and the end of the hour gave you a sample New Historicist essay and an outline form -- to bring back tomorrow for chatting purposes. You will also need to finish Grendel, finding out his outcome, which should not be a surprise from your previous Anglo-Saxon readings.
