Anglo Saxon Riddles

Thursday, Sep 19, 2013

After reading Beowulf Part 2 (see link in the Beowulf Part 1 assignment - Part 2 is Epics 5-6), we discussed Beowulf in small groups.

Anglo-Saxon riddles are poems that were written to describe common objects in a clever way.  For each riddle, figure out what the poem is about, find one example of alliteration, and one example of a kenning.
