Next, we had a discussion about what sort of behaviors work well for class discussion, what behaviors don't work well, and how to describe those through a traditional four point rubric. I will be using this discussion to create a rubric that we can use in discussions for our class. We'll test the rubric out with Beowulf and revise it from there.
Next, we reviewed what work we are starting with Beowulf and began reading the introduction and historical information on the story. We will begin discussing the story next class.
