ORANGE DAY

ENGLISH 12

Today in class we worked on a second review sheet with examples of literary terms....we went over this in class and it was collected and graded as a participation grade...

On Monday's class, we will write stories utilizing literary devices...

COLLEGE ENGLISH

Today we finalized any discussion of section 3 of BEOWULF and made sure to go over the participation "tests."

Your composition, which is due the Monday we get back from Thanksgiving is to address the following prompt:

Compare or contrast the character of Beowulf with a modern day example of an "epic hero." Be sure to utilize specific details from the story of "Beowulf" in your response. Also, you should pay careful attention to utilize conventions, stereotypes,  and elements of epic hero stories (i.e. the notes we talked about!!!) to support your comparison or your contrast!

We took a lot of notes about these stereotypes today...and we talked about cultural heroes.....On Monday, we will finish the notes and review how to write a successful compare/contrast essay. Consider your "homework" between NOW and the Monday after Thanksgiving to be working on your composition
