CP10: World Lit
Types of Questions & The Battle with Grendel’s Mother

10. Types of Questions
As you’ve probably noticed, there are different levels of questions we discuss in this class. Some are low-level, while some are far more difficult. As we’re approaching the Beowulf test (next week!), know that there will be four types of questions you will have to answer.
Main Idea Questions
Inferred Main Idea Questions
Thematic Questions
Disguised Meaning Questions
Hint: take notes! 

11. Main Idea Questions You can find the answer directly in the text.
1. Who wins the battle with Grendel? 2. What weapon does Beowulf use to  defeat  Grendel's mother? 3. Who is king of the Danes?

12. Inferred Main Idea Questions
The question focuses on what happens in the text on a literal level (like main idea questions) but requires you to read between the lines. It’s not stated directly).
1. How did Beowulf plan to defeat Grendel? 2. Why do the Danes decide to trust Beowulf? 3. Why does Grendel's mother attack Beowulf?

13. Theme/Thematic Questions
The question focuses on the text as a whole at the thematic level. Requires the reader to think about what the author intended.
1. How is Beowulf proven a hero? 2. Why is fame so important to Beowulf? 3. Why do weapons keep failing Beowulf?

14. Disguised Meaning Questions
The question focuses on a specific aspect of the text at the thematic level. Requires the reader to think about what the author intended, and usually leads to deeper themes that are found throughout the text. Usually deals with symbolic meanings.
1. What is significant about taking Grendel's arm? 2. Why does Beowulf only defeat monsters  (never hum ans)? 3. Why behead Grendel's corpse?

15. Thematic Questions Practice!
Choose one of the prompts below and respond using at least two reasons. Support each reason with details from the text.
Prompt #1: In what ways is Beowulf proven worthy of  his title as h ero? Why does this matter o a modern audience?
Prompt #2: How do we know that Beowulf is human?  How does his  humanity add relevance to the  story?

16. The Battle with Grendel
For the battle with Grendel’s mother, we’re going to do something a little different. Instead of me writing questions for you, you’re going to write and respond to four questions that you create yourself: one main idea, one inferred main idea, one thematic, and one disguised meaning question. Make sure your questions are clearly labeled, contain proper grammar, and that you use textual evidence to support all answers. Good luck! 
