Brit Lit uses British Literature by James Stobaugh. I like the time-lines in the textbook. I think a little understanding of the Anglo-Saxon culture and history helps. I made this document available to the kids to help them create timelines. There are examples below. The kids are working on some follow-up discussion questions. (There is a picture of the email with the questions assigned.). The Anglo-Saxon period was marked by repeated invasions from Jutes, Angles, Saxons, Frisians, Vikings, and Normans, all after several centuries of Roman rule. One kids compared the situation in Afghanistan to the Anglo-Saxon period. My chief goal is to get the kids thinking about the time period and its impact on literature. Take a look at the time-lines and questions.
