Justify your reasoning with support from the text.
3. Book Two Gareth Hinds Beowulf
Beowulf Link ( For Reference)
At your tables, read through book two of the graphic novel.
Then, use the five steps you to find theme.
(You took Cornell Notes on this.)
In a Google Doc with your group, respond to the following:
1. Summarize the plot by writing a one-sentence description for the
exposition, the conflict, the rising action, the climax, the falling
action, and the resolution.
2. Identify the subject of the work.
3. Identify the insight or truth that was learned about the subject.
• How did the protagonist change?
• What lesson did the protagonist learn from the resolution
of the conflict?
4. State how the plot presents the primary insight or truth about
the subject.
5. Write one or more generalized, declarative sentences that state
what was learned and how it was learned.
4. Theme Representation
Based on your groups finding in the activity above, create a representation of the theme.
Write what it is and create a visual.
You may represent it through drawings, pictures, cut-outs, etc.
Closure:
Using the self-evaluation rubric, rate your understanding of theme.
1- I'm unclear and lost.
2-I'm hitting the target sometimes, but still need help.
3- I'm hitting the target consistently but not all the time.
4- I really understand.
