And we all know how most students feel about really old poems. In the eyes of most, it was just a really, really old poem. “Wasn’t there a movie not too long ago?” someone also asked.īeyond that, however, that was about as much as they knew.
They understood or at least had a notion of it being an important, seminal text. Feel free to comment on how (or if!) videos improve my blog.ĭuring the first week of September, when I first mentioned the poem Beowulf to my senior British Literature classes, most of the students said that yes, they had heard of the ancient Anglo-Saxon poem. I have a couple of goals in doing this: 1) to add variety to my posts, and 2) to get more comfortable with making videos in general. I’m playing around with the idea of embedding a short video to introduce each week’s blog post.
