  1. Aberdeen University has a website entitled *Beowulf for Beginners* which you might consider adding to your list of resources. It’s an interactive educational resource for schoolchildren – but often enjoyed by those somewhat older (which is why the University relaunched the site when we discovered our students who had come across it as kids were still using it). You can check it out at http://www.abdn.ac.uk/english/beowulf/
