1. Sudents received a major hand-out on the historical background for the Anglo-Saxon period; hang on to this and take it seriously. You will be expected to "know" the material as though it were a history class.
2. There was a quick chart on the board outlining the types of literature for this period. You can copy it down tomorrow if your were absent.
3. The majority of the time was spent on getting started on a lyric poem called "The Seafarer' (pp. 17-20). However, we only got through line 38. If you were absent, do the following quick activity in your notes:
- Make a T-chart and label it "Hardships." Mark the left side Physical and the right side Emotional
- Now fill it in with the appropriate phrases you find in lines 1-26.
- Tomorrow, compare your chart to others to make sure you were on the right track.
The main thing is the personal essay. Make sure you have followed all instructions on the various prior hand-outs, and have everything you need to turn in: the cover sheet, the final draft, the stamped first draft, and the peer-response form for that draft.
But also--you need to read the intro and first two sections (Celts and Romans) from the hand-out. Quite frankly, you can probably accomplish that while I am collecting the essays and marking them off as turned in on time.
