We went over the battle between Grendel and Beowulf. We watched a scene from "The Return of the King" when Aowyn fights the King of the Nasgul. We compared/contrasted the two scenes. We practiced writing a Thesis statement.
Reviewed compare/contrast language-
COMPARE
Both Beowulf and Aowyn.........
Beowulf fights using his courage. Like Beowulf, Aowyn.............
Similarly, Aowyn......
CONTRST
Although both heroes fight to save lives, Aowyn fights for someone she loves.
Beowulf fights for honor unlike Aowyn who fights for love.
Aowyn hides her identity while Beowulf proudly boasts his heritage.
Homwork:
1. Finish writing your compare/contrast paragraph.
2. Finish reading Beowulf. Pages 47-60
3. Bring Purple Lit. Book to class.
