Average English 12 (September 18, 2007)

In Class:

Reading/Overview/ Discussion on The Battle with Grendel


Imagery Exercise: (15pts)


Choose two-five consecutive lines in the epic that have created a vivid picture in your mind. Write those lines on a sheet of paper and illustrate the lines creatively. This is not an exercise based upon drawing abilities, but rather an activity that tests your creativity and brain power.


PS. I like stick figures, that's fine...just be creative!


EXAMPLE:


Out from the marsh, from the foot of the misty

Hills and bogs bearing God's hatred,

Grendel came hoping to kill

Anyone he could trap on his trip to High Herot.


(Illustrated picture of these lines)--obviously one of your own!
