Beowulf Background Notes and Stations / Google Slides and Google Docs
Building context is an important part of getting students ready for reading Beowulf. In particular, Beowulf comes with its own special set of vocabulary (kenning, thane, epic poem, archetype, scope, etc.). To help build background knowledge for students, I use these resources. This lesson plan is designed to take two 50-minute class periods, but there is a lot of flexibility.

This lesson set offers a mature look at the metaphysical poetry of John Donne. I expanded the lesson set available in the Prentice Hall/Pearson British Tradition textbook.
