1. Remember: State of the Union reflection is due at the beginning of class today.
2. Read: Beowulf up to "Glee is High"... this means that you make it through 'chapter' X.
Electronic reading tips:
https://digitalresearchtools.pbworks.com/w/page/17801642/Annotation%20and%20Notetaking%20Tools
This is a site that lists a BUNCH of tools and sites you can use to literally annotate electronically, if you would like...
Now, if you want to read electronically and then annotate/note take on paper.. I would suggest:
In notes, start with a group of lines or pages (whatever applies to the text)...
Beowulf- "Life and Death of Scyld" (lines 1-55)
As you start to read... Jot down the following..
- plot elements - literary elements/terms - patterns - stylistic choices -questions -realizations -major character names
Think FORMALISM (what the text is DOING) with sprinkles of ALL THE OTHER SCHOOLS (why and how the text is happening).
I'll be thrilled with a mastering of Formalism for now... with some 'lightbulb' notices of the other schools.
3. Remember: Poetry/literary terms test is FRIDAY!
