Beowulf A New Telling Robert Nye Cold Reading Tracking Activities Chapter by Chapter

This powerpoint is initended to be used alongside a first reading (cold reading) of “Beowulf A New Telling” by Robert Nye. There are 17 slides, one for each chapter (apart from chapter 7 which falls neatly into two sections). On each slide there is a choice of three activities. The intention is that the children work through these activities as they read through the novel. You may wish the children to work through each activity; you might give them the opportunity to select their own activity or you might wish to assign the activity based on ability or learning target. Some activities are suitable for homework even if the children don’t have a copy of the novel.
