JOURNAL TOPIC: [today's tunes: "Celluloid Heroes" by The Kinks, "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner" by Warren Zevon, and --depending on time-- "Heroes" by David Bowie]
What does it mean to be a hero? How are heroes depicted in modern movies and literature? How do you think these portrayals are different from classic and ancient ideas of heroes?
AGENDA:
1. Journal
2. Vocabulary quiz (Fall List #1)
3. Recap yesterday's experiment/readings on concentration
4. Heroes in literature/intro to Beowulf
HW:
1. Begin reading here; read the first section of the modern text (Prologue-Chapter X) and take reading notes
2. Read the excerpts in your textbook (pp.31-60) and take notes.
Does it matter which version of the text we read? (old vs. modern)
ReplyDeleteFor 1. its "modern text" to quote the post
DeleteI figured it out after I looked at the old text and couldn't understand a single word
