English Lit

Make sure to start your independent novels.  Also, look for words to add to your vocabulary list.  We read the entries for the first five pilgrims in Canterbury Tales, so make sure you take notes on them.  I have asked you to do the following for each character:

  • Choose one quote from the poem that really expresses who this character is.
  • Write your own sentence or two that encapsulates each particular character.  Remember that Chaucer often mentioned certain recurring details about the pilgrims, so be sure to note horses, colours, clothes, food, physical appearances, and the humours when they appear (not every detail is mentioned for every person).
