Week 2 Semester 2
This week we got to read Beowulf and we finished it today. We learned about how we got out language from the Anglo-Saxon. I learned that out English is a mixture of German and Latin. Beowulf the story came from Anglo-Saxon and it was about a hero named Beowulf. The Anglo-Saxon was being eaten by a monster named Grendal, and they needed someone to come and destroy him because their population was decreasing. So Beowulf heard about this monster and he went to Denmark to rescue the people. Beowulf with his strength kills Grendal and later Grendal's mother. Lastly, a dragon comes to fight Beowulf but the dragon hurts him and Beowulf's people come and kill the dragon, and Beowulf dies slowly. The story was interesting and different from the other hero stories I have heard. For my project I still don’t know what I’m going to do but I’ll think about something. I really want to make my topic about something I’m really interested in but there’s a lot that’s why I can’t make up mymind.

Check out some of your classmates' blogs. You might be able to team up with someone.
If you want we can talk about book ideas. Also the story of Beowulf was really interesting especially since I watched the movie(don't really remember much). I think its interesting to know where our language came from and it became a little more real when we read Beowulf.
