Today, we read The Prologue from The Squire to The Cook. I reminded people that their Anglo-Saxons essay was due today, so most people worked on that during the work time.

We reviewed the Middle Ages Spiders from yesterday (I’m missing A LOT of these!).
We also filled in the blanks on the Canterbury Tales Skeleton Outline. Make sure you save this for the final exam!
We started reading the Canterbury Tales Prologue today. I sent you all a Word copy of the text with my notes on it. Today, we read up to the Knight.
Then, we started the Cheat Sheet. For each character, you will list at least ten adjectives that describe the character. You can use Chaucer’s words, my words, or your own words. Give the most significant quote for the character. Find an image that represents him/her and replace the hang gliding pig with what you found.
We will work on this a little bit each day, so use your time wisely!

We finished the Prologe today! The Parson, The Plowman, The Miller, The Reeve, The Manciple, The Summoner, and The Pardoner.
We finished our Cheat Sheet today – Don’t worry about the Narrator and The Host – Riley will give those to us on Monday.

Pull out your Canterbury Tales prologue and let’s get ready to reeeeeaaaaaad!
We read The Yeoman, The Prioress, The Monk, The Friar, The Merchant, and The Clerk today. After we finished reading, we worked on the Canterbury Tales Cheat Sheet.
Just remember to use good time management skills – USE YOUR TIME WISELY!
Also, all of the notes we take in class WILL ACTUALLY HELP YOU WITH THE ASSIGNMENTS LATER ON. I promise. If Riley was going to give you busy work, it would be a worksheet or the questions in the back of the book.

What? It’s Valentine’s Day? There’s a cute little new girl in class who is kinda cute, but we aren’t even Facebook official yet. This is all Bri’s fault.
Today, we sneezed about power and Riley explained the Extra Credit Scavenger hunt. It will be easy to do – just go to Wal-Mart and take pictures of things!
We then started reading The Canterbury Tales – we are hiding out from the po-po until things settle down and we can go back to our ship. We don’t want to get caught as PIRATES!
In order to prove that we are indeed people who belong on this pilgrimage, we are going to need to know the other people on the trip with us. So we are going to make a Cheat Sheet of pilgrims. This template for this is in PowerPoint. We “met” The Knight and The Squire today. Remember – ten words for each person, clip art for a symbol, and flip your words for when we print. You can use this for anything we do later on – even when we go up against the BOSS (the final).

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).
