We started out today by reading The Pardoner’s Tale. We read the Pardoner’s Tale Prologue, The Pardoner’s Tale, and the Epilogue to the Pardoner’s Tale.

After we read, we identified The Most Important Idea (TMII) through a foldable.

We also listened to the Pardoner’s Tale rap – Riley thinks she’s all hip hop. DENIAL.

We then spent the rest of the day working on the Moral Thermometer. If you don’t have the pre-writing done yet, you have got to get that done first.

There are instructions (and the rubric) for the Moral Thermometer poster in LMS – make sure you look at that before you compelte your poster!

The Captain started out and gave us the last two pilgrims for the Cheat Sheet: The Narrator and the Host.

Whoa. That’s a GIANT picture.

Anyway, after we did that, we worked on our Moral and Corrupt Pre-writing. Using our cheat sheets, we individually decided who were the top five most CORRUPT pilgrims, and the top five most MORAL characters.

In LMS, there are two documents to fill out: The Moral Pre-Writing and the Corrupt Pre-Writing. Fill it out with an explanation and quote that proves your point. Make sure that you are using quotes that are accurate!

Corrupt is BLUE with dark blue being the MOST corrupt.

Moral is purple with the darkest purple being the most moral.

DON’T FORGET THE BIG IDEA FOR EACH ONE!

You will not be able to do the poster without doing the pre-writing, and it will be WAY easier to write the paper if all of this is done. It’s like a ladder – in order to reach the top, you have to work your way up.
