2. Good Word Quiz on Tuesday. The words are below the “Arthurian Villain” questions.
3. Answer any 4 of the following 11 questions. Make sure your responses are typed and in complete sentences. I will grade this put so make sure this assignment reflects that you have put time and thought into this. There will be a special treat for the most creative villain! :)
Also, remember we all agreed the best villains are the ones who don’t think they are villains. Try to make a character that your Arthurian hero will find threatening!

3. What is your villain’s greatest weakness?
4. What is the one thing your villain is afraid of more than anything else? Is it your main character? Or is it something unexpected, like furry kittens?

11. What’s one secret your villain hasn’t ever told anyone?
