Anglo-Saxons and Beowulf {English 12}

So, you're an Anglo-Saxon warrior and you don't know what to do? Well, you head on over to the communal food hall, grab some Meade and listen to the Scop {not Scope} tell the stories of the immortal heroes before you.

Fast forward to 2011

Picture it --you in Mrs. Ordway's class learning about the Anglo-Saxon's---what? You were absent?!? Well, thank you Mr. Child for preparing this Anglo-Saxons 449-1066 power point presentation. Whew, that was close. You almost missed it. What do you mean you were there you just didn't get all the information? Hurry, click on the link--after all "knowledge is power".

Sadly, if you were absent and missed the Anglo-Saxon power point then you probably missed the Introduction to Beowulf Power Point. Review the information to better familiarize yourself with the epic poem. Lastly, I found this awesome {she sang in high pitched tones} Beowulf! Beowulf! PowerPoint online and I think it will help clear up any questions and put things in perspective for you. I will share it in class on Wednesday, but it's here for you to review.

Happy Anglo-Saxoning {I'm pretty sure I just made up that word, but it might make it in to the dictionary one day and then you can say you had a teacher who created a word.}
