BR: If you could spend a weekend anywhere, where would it be?
Agenda:
- Grammar: Students will continue correcting common comma errors. Students will complete pages 230-231.
- Canterbury Tales: Class will continue reading the Prologue and go over all characters covered with pairs.
- Students will work on character chart during reading and after.
- Ongoing Project: What literary elements does Chaucer use? (rhyme, irony, imagery, etc.) Make a list. How does he portray his characters? Direct and indirect characterization? Does the person's physical appearance reflect their inner self? Include these elements in this ongoing project.
Guidelines for creating your
own Canterbury
Tales
Your
assignment is to create your own Canterbury
Tales.... Imagine you and ten of the
important people in your life are going on a road trip.* Where would you go, and why? Your introduction will include the
following: Who is going, where you are
going, why you are going, when you are going, and how you are traveling.
Your tales
must have a title, an introduction, and a section of 6-10 lines for each of the
ten pilgrims you are taking on your trip, all written in couplets (every two
lines rhyme: AA, BB, CC, etc.). In each of these individual character
sections, you will describe the character in the manner that Chaucer describes
his characters. The tone of your
descriptions should be positive, gentle, and appropriate.
*IN-CLASS
WORK DAYS: You must be in class and working to earn
these points. IF you are absent and IF
it is excused, you may get credit ONLY if you come to me the day after your
absence and show me the work that you did so it can be approved.
*The characters do not have to be people you
know; you may take anyone, real or fictitious, on your trip.
