****Pick on scene from Beowulf (not the whole story) and rewrite it in your own words. Use vivid language and sensory details in your rewrite. Use unit vocabulary words and figurative language to add to your description. This is a descriptive writing assignment, therefore your text needs to show that. When you are finished you should ask yourself, “Does my writing effectively convey the same overall impression of the original poem?”
