We can use this as a practice post for annotating. Essentially what I've done is create a very basic blog using Google Blogger. I'll type up the passages I want my students to annotate and post them in the blog (one post with all the passages for annotation that week).

Often Scyld Scefing seized the mead-benches from many tribes, troops of enemies, struck fear into earls. Though he first was found a waif, he awaited solace for that-- he grew under heaven and prospered in honor, until every one of the encircling nations over the whale's-riding had to obey him, grant him tribute. That was good king! A boy was later born to him, young in the courts, whom God sent as a solace to the people--he saw their need, the dire distress they had endured, lordless, for such a long time. The Lord of Life, Wielder of Glory, gave him worldly honor; Beowulf, the son of Scyld, was renowned, his fame spread wide in Scandinavian lands. Thus should a young man bring about good with pious gifts from his father's possessions, so that later in life loyal comrades will stand beside him when war comes, the people will support him--with praisew
