Some hints for working on the project today:

  • If you need me to print anything in color, drop it off in the drop box
  • I find it helpful to use manipulatives when making the seating chart
  • Don’t wait until next week to write down your rationale – you don’t want to get back to class on Friday only to realize that you forgot all the reasons why you placed The Knight next to the Parson.
  • Look at the example assignments for ideas
  • You can use whatever technology that you want – Word, PowerPoint, Inspiration, Paint, etc.
  • REMEMBER:WHEN WRITING YOUR RATIONALE make sure you that you varied sentences with good transitions. I don’t want each explanation to sound exactly like the one before it. BORING.

This is due on TUESDAY, March 5th.

After our journey, the pilgrims decided to rest for the night in a tavern. Unfortunately, SOMEONE forgot all of our money back on the ship, so we were in a bit of a predicament. The Friar offered to share his room with the girls free of charge if they wanted, but no one wanted to wake him up on the offer. He was very sad. The Pardoner decided to give the same offer out, but he got the same reaction.

The owner of the inn decided to take pity on us and allow us to play the host for dinner on Tuesday night. That means that we will have to come up with a dinner menu, a seating chart, rationale for the seating chart, and a conversation between two of the pilgrims. The detailed instructions are in the LMS.

When you are planning our who will next next to who, make sure you take notes over why you placed them there – the last thing you want to happen to forget your reasoning by the time you write your paragraphs!
