| A Frog Having Just Swallowed a Bat |
* Open
- Turn in your CWP to the silver tray, please.
- Memorization quiz (also turn in to the silver tray). Once you finish please copy the terms below:
Please copy the following terms into your journals:
- Thane: (in Anglo-Saxon England) a man who held land granted by the king or by a military nobleman, ranking between an ordinary freeman and a hereditary noble.
- Scop: an Old English poet, the Anglo-Saxon counterpart of the Old Norse skald.
- Caesura (plural: caesurae): A pause separating phrases within lines of poetry. The term caesura comes from the Latin "a cutting" or "a slicing." Some editors will indicate a caesura by inserting a slash (/) in the middle of a poetic line. Others insert extra space in this location. Others do not indicate the caesura typographically at all (Dr. Wheeler).
* More Heaney together:
* Listen and read
- Listen to Beowulf from line 2164ish (25:00 min. in here)
- Note that it skips, so you'll have to pause when it does, read a bit, then play again.
- If that's too irritating, then don't bother with the audio.
HW: Finish reading Beowulf; next week we will be writing our journal, creating a notecard, and reading other (Tolkien and Leithart) notes. So move into any of those assignments if you have finished reading the poem.
