* Study vocabulary from Beowulf, Grendel, and Lord of the Flies. (I can print extra copies for those who need them.)
* Study important characters, events, motifs, and themes in Beowulf, Grendel, and Lord of the Flies by listing them out for yourself. We will review your lists & comments on Monday. If we do not have school on Monday you may share & comment on each other's lists here.
* Study your notes on the Lord of the Flies lenses: anthropological, psychological, biographical, & poetic.
* Finally respond to the prompt I gave you on Friday. These responses will be due THURSDAY by NOON. (That's not a misprint.) If you have questions & ideas you may share them here or email me directly. I encourage you to ask questions, check in to see if you're on the right track, etc.
