Beowulf

We have just begun our journey through the Anglo-Saxon Period and began reading Beowulf through the first of three battles. Beowulf has heard of the torment that Grendal has brought upon Denmark. He then believes that he is the only one that can go and help them. He travels across the sea to see King Hrothgar, who welcomes him as a salve for Denmark. Beowulf then defeats Grendal and puts an end to his torment. Students are now working on their first Beowulf project and are drawing a picture of what their interpretation of Grendal’s claw is. It’s a fun way to bring imagery to life. Stay tuned for next month’s news on our 2nd Annual Poetry Jam – Jazz Event.
