Began Social/ Literary History for Anglo-Saxon Era

(We read a shortened and condensed version of the material found in the text--strictly for "lack of time" purposes)

The Interactive Time-line was used to re-cap the material.

Please note the four main characteristics of the Anglo-Saxon peoples (bravery, friendship, generosity, and loyalty) as these characteristics will be discussed throughout the studies of the Anglo-Saxon epic poem, Beowulf.

About Me

My basic social character is that of thirty year-old, rambunctious and FULL of energy, 5’3”, red haired, green eyed, sportier of retro/ colorful clothing who lives in an old Victorian house. I teach Critical Thinking, English Composition, and Effective Speech at Pittsburgh Technical Institute (PTI), and I was born in Pittsburgh, but raised in Butler, PA; I was formerly a senior high school English teacher who taught British Literature to seniors for four and a half years at Butler Area Senior High School (BSHS, Butler, PA). I have been teaching college classes since 2008, when I graduated with my Master's degree in Instructional Leadership and English.
