Introduce your class to epic heroes with these activities for Beowulf. After watching a video clip, taking notes on heroes, and tracking characteristics of heroism throughout Beowulf, class members retell an episode of Beowulf using a PowerPoint presentation and write a compare and contrast essay. This has some solid ideas; however, many of the resource links do not work and the procedures and activities read more like an outline.
