Keep in mind: there could be a pop quiz at any time over the poem "Beowulf"...make sure your "This" is up to date and you can answer the study questions. This poem will be over before you know it, and then it's test day!

I wonder how we will describe that one...  ;)

Questions 1 & 2 are due Wednesday, Sept. 16. Question 3 will we discuss tomorrow...make sure you have answers at the ready. Write them down as well...
