Dear Reader Letter
Through out this year in the College Preparatory English Class I have learned a lot about writing and British literature books. Throughout the year we have taken a test over each book we read. The last book we read, instead of doing a half-way point essay we simply wrote a blog post about what we had read in the past two weeks. In addition to reading the outside reading books, we read Beowulf and the Canterbury Tales. We had to do a Multi-genre Project over these two stories either by a ballad, a drawing, a diary entry, etc. Through out the year there definitive were some assignments I excelled in, and some I greatly struggled with. I feel my greatest weakness was the blog posts about my book, while I feel my greatest strength was the research paper.
Sincerely,
Brett Clark

Ballad of Beowulf
Long ago there was a great tale
Telling of the great Beowulf
It begins not with good but evil
It begins with a monster worse than a wolf
Grendel went in looking for blood
He killed all during their sleep
Gashing and slashing slinging around mud
It was so fast not one soldier could even make a peep
Then Beowulf came to save the day
He promised to the king grendel would die
Beowulf began his quest to for many to say
At night he would never sleep but stare at the sky
Then came the first altercation
Beowulf and Grendel stared down each other
Beowulf promised to send him to damnation
Beowulf then went and killed his mother
Yet in the end Beowulf won the fight
Grendel had lost an arm
He crawled out of sight
The king was free from harm.
