I chose Language Arts and Beowulf. I taught it for years and then studied it in Old English several years ago, spent 6 weeks learning the language. I have observed that over the past decade, the epic is less taught, but that it has made a sort of comeback in pop culture. This resource led me to many articles that confirmed my speculation. The articles ranged from advocating the original to acclamation for the most recent animated creations that stem from the theme of heroics. I can certainly see this as fodder for stimulating interest for kids.
Excellent points, ShariO! We like Curriculum Pathfinders because there is something for every content area. Many of the resources are interactive websites to teach or reinforce concepts. Thanks for your comments!
