- Philosophy 2 -

My students will make life connections so they see themselves reflected in the content.

Personal Kennings​

  • Reinforced the figurative language and literary devices used in Beowulf 

  • Taught the kenning, the compact metaphor

    • Concept and structure

  • First activity with the students

    • Optimal as a getting-to-know you activity

  • Student kennings convey their complexity as individuals

​

Modest Proposals

  • Speeches in response to Jonathan Swift's A Modest Proposal

  • Students picked issues they were passionate about or interested in (serious or silly) and proposed a ridiculous solution

  • Used satirical devices and conventions

  • Developed a 5-10 minute speech to present to the class
