Hard copies of the Beowulf essay were turned in.
Short intro to the connection between Beowulf and the Anglo-Saxon warrior code to the next work we'll read: "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight," which reflects how the code of chivalry (brought to England via the Norman French and the ensuing internationalism) changed the concept of the heroic ideal.

FOR TOMORROW
Read the portions of the original introduction that pertain to the Medieval Period (1066-1485):

• Page 5 (last paragraph re: the Norman Conquest) 
• Pages 6-7 (history)
• Pages 9-10 (literature)

(And make sure to submit the essay by 11:59 p.m. tonight if you still have not done so!)
