Unit plan for teaching Beowulf and Arthurian legends, with an emphasis on writing : an honors thesis (HONRS 499)

Abstract

The following unit plan is for the teaching of Beowulf and the Arthurian legends with an emphasis on writing for high school students. The unit plan is divided into three sections which are designed to correlate with one another, but each one can stand alone as a separate unit. This unit plan is flexible while it covers vital elements of the English classroom: the study of classical literature, reading, writing, and revising into concise and detailed lessons. Most of the lessons involve writing assignments that teach students to critically analyze and apply knowledge in an organized manner.
