ON Wednesday--there will be a quiz over Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.  One component will be objective (not long--probably 15-20 questions), and the other will involve some open book writing. In this case, of course, "open book" means the packets you have received for this poem.

By now everyone should have four total packets for Sir Gawain and the Green Knight:
Packet #1--received on Dec. 19, the Friday before break
Packets #2, #3, and #4--received last week
Also--the insert for Packet #3 containing the missing stanzas.

FRIDAY IN CLASS
Students received the very important insert, and we read/discussed it thoroughly, covering all the questions posed in last Thursday's post as well as looking closely at the language of how Gawain negotiated the tricky line between preserving his purity, not wronging his host, and not insulting the lady.  We looked closely at the gift he rejected as well as what he accepted, and why.

TODAY IN CLASS
Discussed Packet #4--Gawain's New Year's Day visit to the Green Chapel, and its aftermath.

FOR TOMORROW

• Be reviewing for Wednesday's quiz.
• Locate the medieval study guide you did for points (showed me, but did not hand in).  Hopefully this sheet is right in your notes/notebook, but possibly stashed at home where you keep stuff you think you don't need.  

Tomorrow when you come to class, you'll actually need to get out your textbooks!
