========================================================

TODAY IN CLASS
Read  and discussed  p. 102--know basic facts about the Exeter Book

Read the third poem from that source that's in our book--"The Wife's Lament"  (Ann Stanford translation).  Then read a different translation by Michael Alexander translation ("The Wife's Complaint."

After individual reading, students worked in pairs to complete some questions about the poem, including providing the text-based line(s) for your opinions.  You could use either translation for any one of the questions--whichever seems clearest to you. Include initials AS or MA before the lines.

FOR MONDAY
If you didn't finish answering the questions during class, finish them over the week-end on your own. They will be collected at the start of class on Monday--no additional work time for this.
You have the Alexander translation as a hand-out, and you can access the Stanford one here:
Exeter Book poems (scroll to p. 112).
