Whether it is Petrarch, Keats, or Heathcliff, AP Lit covers the best literature from Anglo Saxon to the modern era. And, we gallop a lot.

Welcome to Canterbury
We copied down Unit 7 vocabulary, which we will start up tomorrow. Hopefully, you will be able to use these words in our summation of the Canterbury Tale characteristics tomorrow. For homework, you will need to read your assigned character(s) from the prologue and be able to share the following information with the class: character (physical looks, occupation, class, mentality, fun facts), purpose (why going), possible themes (what a character can represent like chivalry, nobility, honor for the Knight). Do not despair fourth hour absentees. You can do this too! Haley B. you have The Summoner, and Haley S. you have The Pardoner. Here is a link to the general prologue: http://www.poetryintranslation.com/PITBR/English/CanterburyTalesI.htm. Do note that a character is introduced in ALL CAPS and that is the section you should read and prep.
