Friday, October 30

Choice of vocabulary study or silent reading. (King Arthur and Sir Gawain vocabulary quiz will be next Friday.)
Returned Anglo-Saxon Poetry tests; checked in around essay submissions.

Finished reading the ballad "Robin Hood and the Bishop of Hereford."
Discussed why Robin Hood ballads would not have been popular with the Norman Aristocracy.
Finished PowerPoint notes set on Medieval Literature and History.
Read and discussed the story "The Drawing of the Sword," from Lang's King Arthur: Tales of the Round Table. (Packets available in class.)
