Beowulf: An Epic in Text Messages
Text Message Grading Rubric
Part A: Students work in pairs to do a close reading of a section of Seamus Heaney's Beowulf, then create a text message string between two characters in modern language, while maintaining the theme and overall development of the poem. Part B: After the teacher organizes the text messages, students present their section to the class, resulting in "Beowulf: An Epic in Text Messages." Students take notes on the presentations and use these notes to write the summary (another rubric).
