Sutton Who? No, Sutton HOO.

Check out this link for the Sutton Hoo Society!

Wait, Miss Fitz, what is Sutton Hoo and why should I care about it?

Okay, well we will be starting very soon Beowulf. No, it's not like the Angelina Jolie movie!  It is way cooler.  

Trust me on this.

::hides Beowulf costume:: Okay, I am a bit of a Beowulf fan girl, but I promise to do my best to make our reading interactive and interesting.

The link I've provided for you at the top of this blog will take you to The Sutton Hoo Society.  Don't click it yet.  I have a few instructions for you first.  Read them all, ask me questions, and then get started.

1. I will put you in pairs.  Take five minutes to acquaint yourselves with the webpage.

2. After these five minutes, come up and get a list of questions from me.  There are different sets of questions, so not everyone will be answering the same questions.  This should take you no more than ten minutes.

3. Great, you're finished!  Go to the bottom of this page and leave a comment.  These comments go straight to my email, so after you submit them, I can approve them and they will show up.  As your username, please put your names followed by your class period.  If you are a name duplicate, add the first initial of your last name.  Otherwise, your first name will suffice.

So, one username might look like this: SarahBrent2

But, if there were two people named Sarah in the class it would look like this: SarahFBrent2

4.  Great, this part should take you no more than five minutes.  After all, you have the answers already!

5.  After all the questions are submitted, we'll discuss Sutton Hoo as a group.  This means YOU are responsible for answering questions.

6. Alright, by this point we should have a pretty good notion of what Sutton Hoo is and isn't.  We'll end this portion of the lesson as we embark on our journey to Beowulf and all its glory.
