For the ill and the absent-minded -

Here, you will find a very brief summary of class discussions and activities, lists of assigned readings, and links to other resources. The posts are reminders of what we covered in class and/or of what you missed by being absent physically and/or mentally. Please post all work in your digital folders via Google Drive. If we are required to work remotely, the posts will give directions for the day's activities, and let you know when we will meet via Google Meets. Please read the posts, talk with your classmates, and do the practise work as it suits the timing at home. If you're still confused, please email me: ms.ignacio@stpats.bc.ca

(NB: I do not condone class absences - you must be present, in class, actively listening and participating whenever possible. Always communicate your absences with the school office as well as with me. It is your responsibility to make arrangements for missed learning opportunities. You MUST meet all assignment deadlines. If we have to meet via Google Meets, please make a note of the QR link posted in Room 205 for the meeting id and passwords.)

B - The one that was at half speed.

ESSENTIAL QUESTION: What significance does the sea hold for sea-faring societies?

I asked learner to identify examples of kennings and alliteration in "The Seafarer." Learners struggled until I discovered that the reading was not completed! (Thank you for your honesty.)

I gave some brief notes on "The Seafarer".

Learners used the rest of the period competing the essay on Anglo-Saxon ideals.

READ:

  • Bede, page 32
  • excerpt from Bede's A History of the English Church and People, pages 33-34
  • "The Seafarer" pages 35-38
  • The Old English Period, pages 41-42
  • The Medieval Period, pages 43-54
NEXT CLASS: the sea, Anglo-Saxon dualities
