  Anglo-Saxons section of the book using
  Inspirations.

Activities

• The students will be assigned a section in the
  Anglo-Saxon background. After reading their
  section, the students will create an Inspirations
  web to share with the class the important aspects
  of their section. In Inspirations, students will
  add to their web the information shared by their
  classmates. Discussion can take place verbally
  at this point. Quiz will follow the next day.
• Teacher will then share notes over Beowulf, epic
  poem, and epic hero using the LCD. Students will
  use OneNote to copy these notes. Discussion will
  take place verbally at this point.
• Students will read the epic poem and draw what
  is going on in each section. Various modes of
  art and technology can be used. They can perform
  a play, do a PowerPoint presentation, use any
  draw tool, find pictures from the internet,
  create a poster, etc. They then share these with
  the class.
• After a clear understanding of the poem is
  created, students will then use the definitions
  of epic poem and epic hero and draw a connection
  between the definitions and Beowulf Typed
  response on Word.
• Discussion questions will be posted on WebCT that
  relate Beowulf to real life situations.
