Daily Reading Blog Journal for Beowulf- Worth 20 points

After EVERY reading assignment post a blog where you document any questions, comments, observations, or other thoughts that come to mind as you read Beowulf. The purpose of this is for all of you, including myself, to support each other with the reading assignments- as we did with last Thursday's post. I understand that some of you do not have internet access, if this is the case you must post the following day in school during a study hall or first thing in the morning. Write your ideas in your notebooks first to make things easier for yourself.

Rather than creating a NEW POST- edit your original post and include the day followed by a hyphen with your new insights/comments/questions. You MUST post something even if you think you have nothing to post. Each day is worth 10 points- for a total of 40 points. You will also be graded on your level of insight- "I understand everything." will not award you any points.

Example:
Monday- I understand what is happening between the characters in Beowulf. I find it really interesting that Grendle is Cain's descendant. It is now wonder why Grendle is so evil.

Tuesday- I am still confused as to why Grendle's mother attacks Herot. Can anyone help me?
