Sophomores: Today we read the short story "The Monkey's Paw" on page 14 in our text. Students are responsible for the following vocabulary words: Amiably Presumptuous Maligned Prosaic Attribute Avaricious Inaudible Torrent Broach Liability
Seniors: We worked on essays today. Students chose between these two prompts: 1. While Beowulf predates Christianity in England, the version we have today has Christian elements. Discuss the Christian elements of the epic and explain their significance. How would the Christian elements relate to the depiction of Grendel as a monster rather than just a human being? Use textual evidence to support your assertions. 2. How does the writer of Beowulf use the themes of good versus evil and light versus darkness? Use textual evidence to support your assertions.
