This is a bundled file, so would need some sort of expander software. I could email the word docs to you if you provide an email.
The quizzes have keys, but the exams do not.

Becca Martin (TpT Seller)
The multiple choice questions were way too simple (Who is the author of “Beowulf?” a. Shakespeare b. King Arthur c. J.R.R Tolkien d. anonymous) and they did not cover the plot of the epic. The common core section was a good idea, but the product was advertised as 2 separate exams, which it is not. It is actually one exam in two sections, both unable to stand on their own. I would like to get my money back, if I could.
September 4, 2012
TeachEng (TpT Seller)
I will try to figure out how to refund your money, but I do need to defend the product.
The Anglo Saxon exam is a stand alone exam. I do not use the Beowulf specific test any longer, because as you know, common core requires that we test skills learned and practiced during a unit with an unfamiliar piece of text: the literature is simply the vehicle for teaching skills. That is what the Ango Saxon exam does.
I included a basic Beowulf content test for those who are not using common core standards or as a way to check for understanding of the text. I thought this was clear in the description, but I will list them separately to avoid confusion.

This is a creative ending to a Poe unit that can be easily tweaked to your teaching style. However, I do think that it is a bit overpriced for amount of materials you recieve. The instructions are basic, but well worded. Thanks for the ideas!!!

When choosing this quiz I assumed it would be a little more in depth. Not that it affected anything - the numbers are incorrect on the key. Also, when downloaded, the font was in music notes. Very disappointed and waste of money.
September 8, 2011
TeachEng (TpT Seller)
I wish you would have contacted me before leaving such scathing feedback. I am not sure what happened with the font or the key since they are correct here and at school. The quiz is a check for understanding following introductory material. I will be sure to change my description to reflect this.

Hello!
I created this as a way for my students to research a god or goddess, create them as a puppet, then present them to the class. My students have always really enjoyed the research and have come up with the most creative puppets. I have a jar with god and goddess names they draw from. Typically the presentations take one to two class periods (depending on class size). I have given three days to one week (outside of class time) for completion. Hope this helps!
