Project Ideas: (Choose one): Due date: 11/24/15
Create the front page of a newspaper: outlining the major events in Beowulf. Write articles and include appropriate pictures (hand or computer-drawn, cut from magazines or newspapers, or found on the Internet). In addition to major articles, include typical newspaper features like editorials, obituaries, advertisements, and comics. Make a key: Section A= Comic, B=Obituary, etc..
Compile a scrapbook: based on Beowulf. Write captions explaining each item included, which should be items that the characters might have saved or which somehow identify the characters. Suggested items include pictures, personal articles, and other physical objects. A twist on this idea is to create a Beowulf time capsule. You can use ideas from the movie and the story.
Create a Comic Strip: based on Beowulf. Your comic strip must include at least 6 cells. It must start when he came to Denmark to help the Danes and end with his final battle with the Dragon. It must cover all the main plot points and the events must be in order. The pictures must be hand drawn and colored.
