Literature & Writing:
We will write a about our society and the values that are evident in it before reading two pieces of Anglo-Saxon literature that show us a little about their values: Beowulf and "The Seafarer."
We will also complete a variety of activities related to the Anglo-Saxons, their language, and Beowulf via centers or stations.
