We started out by sneezing about “judging a book by its cover.”

Today, we met the Merchant, the Clerk, the Lawyer, the Franklin, the Guild members, the Cook (and his sore), the Sailor, and the Doctor. We talked about fake people pretending to have money, popularity, nasty food, pirates, astorology, and the four humors (blook, phlegm, black bile, yellow biles). Gross.

We then had about 30 minutes to work on the cheat sheet. Hopefully, you are using your time wisely and almost done with the cheat sheet.

Humour Season Element Organ Qualities Ancient name Modern MBTI Ancient characteristics
Blood spring air liver warm & moist sanguine artisan SP courageous, hopeful, amorous
Yellow bile summer fire gall bladder warm & dry choleric idealist NF easily angered, bad tempered
Black bile autumn earth spleen cold & dry melancholic guardian SJ despondent, sleepless, irritable
Phlegm winter water brain/lungs cold & moist phlegmatic rational NT calm, unemotional

Happy Monday, you Son of  a Sea Cow! ARRGH!

We started today off by writing a response in Edmodo about where we would like to take a pilgrimage to. This is different than a vacation – be specific in your answer.

We then were introduced to the following pilgrims on our trip: the Squire, the Yeoman, the Prioress, the Monk, and the Friar.

We filled in the cheat sheet about those people and we good to go for the day.

PS – leave it to Riley to use Jersey Shore to help teach her lesson for the day. The Squire is all about t-shirt time and JTL (Joust-Tan-Laundry).

We started out today with Riley giving each person a random word. Some sample words: cousin, fear, peanut, goat, random, duck. You couldn’t choose your word, but you could swap with someone. Riley wrote about her cousin.

We then talked about the “encounter” (aka quiz) from yesterday and she reviewed her major points that we’d need to know to understand the story.

However, that “encounter” gathered attention. And not the good kind of attention. The English Navy is on the search for the pirate who got into that fight, and we aren’t a position to fight the entire Navy. It’s time we slink into obscurity and wait for the heat to die down. We ended up meeting a group of 29 people at the Tabard Inn who were going on a pilgrimage to Canterbury. This was the perfect opportunity for us to hide out with them and wait for the authorities to calm down.

The only thing is that since we are travelling with these people, we have to know who they are. It would be a dead giveaway that we didn’t belong with these people if we didn’t even know who they are!

As we meet these people, we will take down notes about them to help us out in our journey so that it will look like we know what we are talking about. We’re going to use The Pilgim Cheat Sheet in LMS.

We were introduced to the Knight today and we filled out the cheat sheet about him together.
