04.16 - Beowulf's Adventure Slideshow

At the beginning of class today, I organized everyone into three groups with 2-3 people. Everyone then had approximately 20 minutes to meet with their group mates and review their hero's journey note sheets for Beowulf to agree upon an order for the hero's journey stages. Then groups identified "frozen" moments for slides to incorporate into a hero's journey adventure slideshow for Beowulf (directions on the slide below).

After the 20 minutes of prep, each group presented their slideshow. We took a couple minutes to talk about the general organization of stages and then moved into discussion of the second half of the Beowulf discussion questions. This was an assessed discussion for which people will receive credit along with yesterday's discussion.

At the end of the period, everyone was able to hand in their discussion preparation notes and hero's journey note sheets for Beowulf.
