College Preparation English 12 will be our first online English class- well actually it will be our first Pumpkin Eaters class PERIOD. Each Lesson will be posted in order online (keep in mind they skip numbers because not every lesson has an assignment) and it will be reachable by the English Page under CP Eng 12.
It is advisable that you just right the answers in your own words to keep the teachers from realizing that you got it off the internet, but if you get caught cheating- it's no skin off my back. If you were really smart, you would just use this website to keep you on track, but I highly doubt that will be the case.
Anyway, enjoy the free assignments, good luck and don't get caught!

CP English 12 (P1 L02 - Literary Background for Beowulf)
3-2-1 Assessment Sheet
- What
are three key things you learned about the Dark Ages in this
lesson? Please be sure to include at least two complete sentences for
each one.
- In Norman settlements, Lords controlled the villages
as well as ruling and governing their land. Lords were oftentimes knights
and served the king Norman settlements were surrounded by a wall that
encompassed the lord’s house, and the rest of the village and the lord’s
house usually had yet another wall. The village usually contained a
stockpile of food, a well, and weapons. The idea is that they would have
everything that they needed to survive within the walls, in case of an
attack.
- Old English resembles modern English, but not very
closely. One must remember that old English was only a component of the
languages that formed together to make modern English. Latin, Celtic and
German were blended together and reformed over time to make today’s
English.
- Christianity wasn’t always the main religion of
ancient Britain. It only became truly popular and dominant after the
romans had been ran out of Britain and the Germanic tribes formed
together to make the Anglo-Saxons.
- Explain two things that you would still like to know
about the development of Old English. Please be sure to include at least
one complete sentence for each one.
- I would like to learn more about the Modern English
words that show roots in German Latin and Celtic.
- I would enjoy studying which language our grammar is
based off of, and how we mixed certain rules in grammar from different
languages.
- In one paragraph, describe how the language of English
evolved during the Dark Ages. What were the influences that changed it
over the years? Which ethnic backgrounds were involved in this
evolution? Please write at least four sentences for this response.
- Old English gets its roots from the Celtic language
that was spoken in ancient England. The romans invaded, and sent the
Celtic population north and into Ireland. The clashes with the romans
brought a little Latin into the language. When the Germanic tribes
invaded the language also adopted a little German and the mix was known
as Old English.
