The writing assignment sheets guide students through the assignments. The first assignment is to inform: students compose an essay in which they illustrate how Beowulf exemplifies the features of a literary epic. The second assignment is to persuade: students pretend to be Grendel's mother, writing a persuasive journal entry that describes the action and events from her perspective. The third assignment gives students the opportunity to express their personal ideas: they are to write a composition in which they identify what passions or qualities that they possess that if fostered could lead to them living in fame after their deaths. There is also a group theme project in which students will work in small groups to discuss several of the important themes relating to Anglo-Saxon society and their manifestation in Beowulf. Using information they have acquired through reading assignments and class discussions, students will meet in groups to discuss the Anglo-Saxon societal influences in Beowulf.
