All of their personal work will be compiled into a portfolio, together with notes and educated opinions on the texts.

- The students are required to read books outside of the classroom and will process their reading in a portfolio assignment.
- The students are expected to have a strong interest in Anglo-Saxon culture and to show this through their work.
