We had another wonderful class this week. The class has really risen to the occasion when it comes to class discussions. We welcomed Makana Evans to the class, making us a nice even 10 in the class.
We finished with Beowulf this week; it didn't take very long for us to work through this book, Their discussion questions were insightful -- they included thoughts about symbolism, various themes, and character development.
With our lively discussion of Beowulf, we didn't have a lot of time to discuss our next week's reading assignment: Much Ado About Nothing. This is our Shakespeare selection for this class. A number of students have already read this, so I hope that we can go a little deeper with the book. Unfortunately, the books that I had ordered for the class didn't come until Friday. I gave the students Acts I and II as a pdf document. They will have their books next week.
Assignment for Next Week:
-- Read Act I and Act II
-- Write 3 discussion questions

Have a great week!
