Sir Gawain and the Green Knight

What better way to spend Halloween than reading a story that begins with a beheading? For the next week or so, we'll be discussing Arthurian Literature, beginning with a look at " Sir Gawain and the Green Knight ," the anonymous tale of a test of courtly love, involving a supernatural green knight and a bet. For more information on the poem, read this introduction . I've also included a prose translation that you can compare with the verse translation we have in our book.

Sophomore Honors

In lieu of a final book and paper, I am having English II Honors students do a presentation on two contemporary British authors. The list, along with the assignment, is linked below. We will do this by drawing, with #1 going first and fifth. Each student will choose two authors, conduct research, and create a presentation using Google Slides. This project is due next Friday, May 15th, when you will present them to the class. Information from the presentations will be included on the final exam. English II- Honors Presentations Sydney - Atwood and Byatt Kaleigh - Gaiman and Rowling Lilly - Hornby and Smith Madelynn - Martel and Pratchett
