Week Two

We are beginning our exploration of Beowulf. This week I'd like you to go to the below website and explore the site. You need to go to the original text and try to read it. Good Luck. After reading the original text, then take a look at the modern text. After spending 5 to 10 minutes reading it, make a comment.

Have fun,

Welcome to British Literature

We are at the beginning of an exciting adventure. This adventure may be painful, sorrowful, and excruitiating at times. These are the times when you will need to rely on your own fortitude and the help of your fellow adventurers. As a group of people at the beginning of this trek, we may seem like a bunch of individuals, but by the end we will have gone through many trials and tribulations that will bring us closer together as a people group. You will create bonds in the class that could last forever. As your guide, I feel that it is my responsibility to begin by introducing myself.

This is my second year at Anderson High School, and my second year teaching British Literature. I am married and have a daughter who is almost one. She has completely changed my life. If you'd like to know more about her, then check out Sara's blog. (Just click on my profile.) Look to your right. I also have another child on the way. Ahhhhhh!!!! You can check that blog out as well. I am an avid golfer and baseball fan. I also coach both sports at Anderson. Before teaching at Anderson, I spent a year teaching English in South Korea and before that I spent five years in the Business world. I love teaching and working with students. I love to see students succeed and work hard. I am looking forward to getting to know all of you. Please take a minute and introduce yourself using the comment button. Tell us something about yourself, where have you traveled, your favorite movie, and what your future occupation will/or would like to be.

Thanks,
Mr. Lunn
