At the beginning of class today, I handed out grade report sheets and returned work that I had assessed over vacation. This included the Beowulf reading quizzes which I returned to people, but then re-collected at the end of class.
In class, we went over the Beowulf reading quiz revisions and reviewed the work that had been completed just before break with the "Johnny Knoxville: A Modern Day Beowulf?" assignment and the "Old Heroes, Modern Conflict: Ukraine" assignment (a review of this material is available here: 04.18 - Modern Day Heros (Knoxville/Ukraine).
Everyone then had the remaining time in class to work on completing or revising any of this work as necessary. For class tomorrow, each person should also have read "Sigurd the Volsung" (p. 262 in our World Mythology text) and completed a hero's journey note sheet.
At the end of class, I handed out copies of the discussion questions for "Sigurd the Volsung". We will have some time in class tomorrow to respond to the first eight discussion questions. It would be a good idea for people to get a start on them tonight though.
Handouts:
Hero's Journey Note Sheet (don't forget to reference our work on the ordering of stages)
Homework:
Be sure to have read the story "Sigurd the Volsung" in your World Mythology text and complete a hero's journey note sheet for the story. We will have time in class tomorrow to respond to the discussion questions before we have our full discussion.
Complete missing work and revise any assignment that scored below a 92.
