Homework, September 15, 2011

1.) Use the weekend to finish, polish, and/or expand your extended simile. Due 9/20

2.) In 300-500 words, examine what Beowulf says a hero is. Then, find a modern example/definition and compare and contrast with the ancient concepts. Are there differences? In what ways has heroism stayed the same? Due 9/20

3.) Create a riddle for the class to solve! Remember you should use any/all of the tools in your riddle: imagery, personification, and morality. Due 9/20

Extra credit: Kennings

Come up with kennings for any or all of the following prompts: a parent, your favourite food, your favourite activity, a pet, a bookshelf, a work of art, a cup of coffee (or drink of your choice). Include the definition of your kenning as well. (Ex: Sprightly Squirrel Slayer = My Dog). Feel free to do as many or as few as you like; each kenning will be worth 1/4 point of extra credit! Due 9/29
