Thursday

• Discussion of syllabus items

• Presentation of "Who I Am and Where I'm Going" posters

• HW due Tues. 9/5/17- Beowulf timeline. Research the time period when Beowulf may have happened and when it was probably written down. Create a timeline that indicates these periods as well as at least seven world events / notable people living at this time. Give dates (approximate are OK) and put events in time order on the continuum. Be sure to leave lots of extra space on the timeline so that you can add more from your classmates on Tuesday. Here are some resources to help you find events for your timeline:
• Timeline Index (probably the best source of these three)
• Timelines of World History (Wikipedia)
• Chronology of World History
