After finishing our 10 vocabulary words --- review on Monday and mini quiz on Tuesday -- we began The Canterbury Tales by reading about Thomas a Becket and his tragic demise, Chaucer's lengthy resume, and beginning of the prologue.
For homework, you have been assigned 2-3 pilgrim prologues to read about and introduce to the class. This introduction should include these items: themes introduced, characterization including physical traits, occupation & class, and the narrator/author's tone towards that individual. Laura, if you would like to be a part of this, read the Pardoner's section of the overall prologue (not his prologue to his story) and be ready to chat about it.
