Beowulf Summary

In the lands of the Danes (modern-day Denmark), a terrible beast, Grendel, plagued the kingdom of Hrothgar and his people. The Danes suffer for many years until a young, Geatish warrior named Beowulf takes on the challenge of defeating Grendel. He sails with his men to Heorot, and is thrown a great feast on his arrival.

Although many are joyous at his arrival, one jealous Dane denounces Beowulf and his reputation, at which point Beowulf boasts about his accomplishments, his victories, and gives descriptions of stories from the war.

After the celebration, Grendel arrives and Beowulf fights him barehanded. When others try to aid him, they find their swords cannot harm the creature. Beowulf defeats Grendel by tearing his arm off and hangs it as a trophy in the great hall of Heorot for all to see.

The mortally wounded Grendel has retreated to the marshes to die. His mother, a swamp hag, is now enraged. She kills Hrothgar’s most loyal warrior before returning to her lair.

Beowulf, Hrothgar, and their men, track Grendel’s mother, and Beowulf swims into the hag's underwater lair alone. Grendel’s mother appears to be winning against the Geat, but he stabs her with a sword found in the lair. Before leaving, he finds Grendel’s body at the bottom of the swamp and cuts off his head as a trophy for the king.

Years later, our hero ascends to the throne of his homeland where he rules wisely for over 50 years. When a would-be thief disturbs a dragon, it threatens his land. Knowing he has lived a full life and seeing his death before him, Beowulf charges into the action and defeats the dragon, but not before being bitten in the neck. The dragon’s venom kills him, and according to legend, his body is burned on a great funeral pyre, and a burial mound is built for him overlooking the sea.

Hur man Uppmuntrar Diktskrivning

1

Introducera Litterära Verk

Lärare kan introducera dikter som en form av litterärt arbete där författare kan lägga sina känslor i intressanta verser och leka med ord och meningsbildning. Om lärare kan introducera konceptet på ett intressant sätt skulle det få elevernas uppmärksamhet.

2

Rekommendera Intressanta Stycken

Lärare kan rekommendera olika dikter till eleverna efter deras intressen. Många elever är intresserade av dikter som kan berätta episka historier.

3

Håll Diskussioner

Organisera veckovisa diskussioner om olika dikter. Eftersom dikter inte har så mycket textsammanhang kan eleverna föra intressanta diskussioner och lägga till olika perspektiv beroende på deras tankeprocesser.

4

Organisera en Diktskrivartävling

Be eleverna skriva en dikt om vilken typ av ämne de vill. De kan hämta inspiration från skrivstilen hos sina favoritpoeter. I slutändan kommer eleven med den bästa dikten att vinna ett incitament eller en belöning.

5

Bjud in Gästpoeter

Lärarna kan om möjligt ordna besök av valfri gästpoet. Eleverna kan lära känna sin resa och få lite inspiration.
