HW: Study for your test. This test is: short answer/multiple choice/short answer

It is ASSUMED you have concrete, solid plot knowledge. Therefore, the majority of the test questions come from the bottom three tiers of Bloom’s Taxonomy.

 

Study the following for your test:

• Background notes I gave you in class (the typed ones)
• Background notes you took in class: Old English Language and Poetics and Translator’s Introduction
• All your annotations and focus on: symbols/character development/themes/motifs
• All the elements of a heroic myth and the ability to apply Beowulf to these elements

And for your super, sweet surprise (how’s that for alliteration?) you may create a plot timeline of 40 major events to use on your test. I’m not grading this, but if I were you, I would definitely take the time to make it. YOU MAY NOT INCLUDE ANALYSIS and MAY NOT USE THE INTERNET (Spark Notes, etc.) to create this.
