CULMINATING PROJECT, a state high school graduation requirement: OCT. 15
CULMINATING PROJECT, a state high school graduation requirement: OCT. 15
12th grade: Senior English classes assign a Resume and and answer to Question #1 in September. Note: Resumes completed in Bridges in 10th grade cannot be used for your senior resume. All Seniors (even those not in English classes at IHS) must complete a resume and the typed answer to Question 1. The resume and question 1 are turned into the Career Center by October 15th of senior year. Senior Resume Guidelines and Expectations *
*CHECK THIS SOURCE OUT FOR SURE. I am belatedly realizing that it is this sheet (created Oct. 31, 2013--so after last year's submissions) that lists Objective as a requirement on your culminating project resumes. But today I asked for clarification from the College and Career Center, and the word is you do NOT need to include this for the Culminating Project if you are doing an academic resume. Anyone planning to apply to college should be doing an academic resume; if you are planning to work next year, then the Employment Resume format is what you should follow. And for that, starting with "Objective" is standard practice.
But here is why the one-page version is useful--it gives you a list of categories to pick and choose from (so you can find the best organization for your situation). There is no one right way.

Senior Packet for the Culminating Project
See the resume section of the College Resource Handbook for more help with resumes.
(I have tried and failed to link a pdf version of the handbook, since very often this year there has been a downloading issue; however, it's not working right now.
Both the resume and response to Question 1 must be typed, of course. Be sure to save them both in a way that can be accessed at school.
TODAY IN CLASS
Students had a few minutes to work in groups to consider the encounters between Beowulf and the coast-warden and Hrothgar's right-hand man Wulfgar. We used that discussion as a basis for a few more thoughts on this section before moving on to Hrothgar's explanation to Wulfgar of what he had already heard about Beowulf.
And this led to the kenning of Beowulf's name. Test yourself: do you remember the parts? And what about yesterday's term wergild --what is the literal translation of the parts? What does the term mean? How did it apply to Grendel's behavior?
FOR TOMORROW
We need to finish up Ch. 6-10 (discussion prep questions 8-11).
You can certainly start reading more; I don't have my book at home to be sure of what's needed for Friday.
