Midterm!
Ok so Theresa just reminded me that even though we do not have an actual test on SGGK, there is still the midterm to think about. So let us reserve this post as a study guide of sorts for the midterm. Lets list all the material that we think/know will be on the exam (in an organized way please...well as much as possible). Laz, your input will be greatly appreciated (hint!).

There are some concise study guides and questions on the reading on the first link I put up.

and fatima becomes the bearer of bad news, in addition to being the poem hog. ;D
The midterm will probably be pretty run of the mill Laz. I.e. he'll give us an excerpt and say "analyze this!" and then laugh at our pitiful attempts to draw connections between the ploughman and Morgan le fay. (knock on wood. Please don't put that on the midterm, Laz)
And then he'll round it out with a nice little essay that will ask us to related all the works we have read so far. Correct me if I'm wrong but they are:
King Lear (emphasis on schools of critical analysis)
Rhinoceros
Canterbury Tales
SGGK
Hamlet (if we get through it in time after sonnets)
That seems awfully scant. And he'll probably throw in sonnets too.
It's tough to say what exactly will be on the midterm, but it will pretty much concern drawing relationships between various things from characters within a text to stories to other stories.
Albert you forgot Beowulf. For shame...
And how could we forget heraldry ?!!
Just for clarification...I am not the poem hog! Kelsie is!
