We finished up the last of the 15 words in vocab unit 7 and then launched into the official assignment for our version of the Canterbury Tales. For your tale, you are required to create a prologue and a tale. All of this will be due on our bon voyage party day, February 16.
Meanwhile, we had a little wiggle room for you to look at our Bikini Bottom Tales from last year, check out your evaluation for the Estrella essay, and substitute "boring" verbs for more "hot" verbs that will boost your level of mature diction.
At the end of the hour, you heard all about Boccaccio, his friendship with Petrarch, and his frame story for his Decameron. For homework, read the tale of "Federigo's Falcon" and be ready to talk characterization, plot, happy endings, and the overlap with Chaucer's writing.
