Oct. 11th (A day)

• Silent reading
• Then, we had a review of book review expectations and a few tips (the powerpoint for this can be found in the sidebar).  Remember, the next book review is due on October 25th.
• We reviewed archetypes by listening to the song "O Valencia" by the Decemberists and finding as many archetypes in it as we could.
• Then, we had a short preview to the language and culture of Beowulf. 
• Then we read book 1 of Beowulf (you can make up any missed reading during our silent reading time).  A3 was a little ahead, so they also read book 2.
• Finally, we wrote 1/2 pg. response about reading a graphic novel.  How is it different than a regular book?  Do you like it or dislike it?  Why?
