Now that you’ve read Beowulf and learned about narrative writing, its time to put the two together. Choose one of the scenes below:
1. The coming of Beowulf and Beowulf’s boast
2. The battle with Grendel
3. The battle with the Dragon
And writ from the perspective of one of the characters below:
1. Beowulf
2. Grendel
3. King Hrothgar
While you are encouraged to be creative, you want to stick to the major plot points in the poem. You are expected to include the following:
· A dramatic arc: exposition, rising action, falling action, and resolution
· An attention grabber at the beginning
· Dialogue between the characters
· Sensory details and descriptions (bring your story to life)
· Consistent tense and point of view
