Because of the Western Civilization essay due Tuesday, May 2, I am bumping the Beowulf test to Wednesday, May 3. Please note the new materials available to study for that test. This change will bump the Beowulf peer edit draft to Thursday, May 4. The typed draft for Mrs. Tully to read will be due Monday, May 8.

This collection includes vocabulary, assignments, background articles and copies of materials distributed in class during the Beowulf unit.
