I’m still in a mythology mood this week, but this time we will delve a bit into the British legend of Beowulf and a fictionalized what-if account of that story. Why?

What about a more modern history? Kevin Hodgson gives us a review that jigsaws perfectly into the suggestions we offer for connecting mythology to today's students.
Now to the list of comics that came into the classroom this week:
