The students received their A Doll House essays today. They were not graded. The students spent some time reading and revising their work. This is a 50pt assignment that will be graded shortly.

We are now beginning a new unit. The next work we will be studying is Beowulf. The students will be taking notes on the background of the work and the origins of the english language.

Here is a link to an interesting site that shows the evolution of the english language.

I have also included the trailer for the upcoming animated feature.
