Storybook Plan: Beowulf

For my storybook I would like to narrate a few of Beowulf's adventures. To begin I will introduce Beowulf and tell readers a little bit about his history, then I will segue into his adventures. From reading a few of Beowulf's stories I think I will keep them separate like an anthology. I think the main thing to learn from Beowulf would be his bravery and willingness to overcome obstacles that seem too overwhelming. Even in the darkest moments he finds a way. I think that is what has drawn me to Beowulf so deeply. He never gives up.
Beowulf Awaits the Fiend

Below is a list of the stories written by H. E. Marshall that I will recreate, as well as some information on Beowulf. I learned recently from Laura that H. E. Marshall is a woman, so you know, power to women!

1) How Beowulf Overcame the Dragon

2) How Beowulf Overcame the Water Witch

3) Beowulf Telleth How He Warred with the Sea Folk

Here is a link to the stories by Marshall.

Wiki Beowulf and Britannica Beowulf for additional information on Beowulf's history.

The Daily has been one of the most rewarding things I have done at OU. I have met a niche group of people that help me connect with others outside of school that I may not have gotten the chance to meet otherwise. I love being a part of the school newspaper because I feel so much more aware of events going on locall...

Week 9 Story: The Shark and the Seal

Bibliography: This story is originally written by A. L. Shelton as The Tiger and the Frog Seal escaping jaws of shark There was once a very old shark that was making its way to the reef to fill its stomach. The shark had not eaten in a couple of days and felt very weak indeed. As the shark was gliding through the sparkling blue waters a baby seal up ahead saw him and became very frightened. The seal quickly came up with a plan as the shark drew near. The shark was about to pass by when the seal squeaked, "what are you up to?" The shark slowly turned around and said, "I am in search for food. I have not eaten in two days and I feel very weak. You would be a good meal but you are very small." The seal made sure to puff out its chest when it said, "I am the king of seals. I am strong. To test this lets see who can make it across that trench the quickest." The shark accepted this trial and made to burst off across the the trench. Before the shark sped ...
