TODAY IN CLASS
1. Very short historical background quiz
2. "The Wife's Lament" worksheets stamped for completion; time to collaborate (strengthening weak answers, discussing ambiguities); papers collected.
3. Hand-out of what's going to be on the long quiz on Monday, Nov. 1, with some discussion of the full definition and characteristics of an epic as well as several other new terms.
FOR TOMORROW
Read p. 27 and pp. 36-37 in your textbook--this is material directly related to Beowulf.
In class on Friday, we will finish the terms on the hand-out, talk more about Beowulf background info, and discuss "The Wife's Lament."
