Lit 12 Thurs. Feb. 3

We did it!! Finished Bewulf, wrote a 10 question quiz on "Unferth's Taunt". Discussed the poem's relevance for us today. Reviewed literary must-haves and how to cite.

Tonight: 300 to 400 literary parag. Choose question 1 or 2 below.
1. Discuss the Anglo-Saxon elements in the poem.
2. Compare and contrast Beowulf and Grendel.

The purpose of this writing assignment is to review and practice your literary writing.
Remember to plan: What? / So What? charts work beautifully.
Remember to answer the question in your topic sentence/thesis.
Hooks are only useful if they actually do the job so be wary. No hook is better than a weak hook in literary writing at this level.

Bring a copy, double spaced to class for editing. Good copy is due Monday.
