• The test will be similar to the first test, except that it will include passages from the epic poem and questions from our wrap-up activities (Halverson article, themes, genres, heroic ideal). 
• For the passage-based questions, you will need to identify things like vocabulary, the speaker in the passage, who is being addressed, the importance of the passage to the narrative as a whole, whether or not the passage is a digression. The written sections will come from the passages as well. Here is a sample passage-based series of questions.
• Background information will appear on the exam. Review:
• Slideshow: Setting & Language in Beowulf
• Anglo-Saxon Language
