I love teaching Canterbury Tales. Okay, actually, I love explaining the jokes and teaching indirect characterization, but close enough, right?

Thank you to my singers:

Shelton, Austen, Manuel, Trent, Wyatt, Luke, Shane, Nathan, Mickey, (and I know I’m forgetting some UNFORGETTABLE singers!

Today, we read about the Pardoner, the Summoner, and the Friar – some of the more corrupt church officials. We added a bit to our Little Book today, and we ended the day with a linear array:

I gave you a bunch of words that are related to good and bad and you essentially mapped out the degree to which the words are related. linear array

So, for tiny is smaller than medium, so it goes to the left. Gargantuan is larger than huge, so it goes to the right.

I’ve also given you the characters to place on the array to show where you think they belong: they don’t need to be assigned a word!

We started the class off today by watching a few clips and discussing Fate and Free will. This isn’t a grade, but if you weren’t here, it might help just to at least look at the questions that were asked.

Then we did a quote sort. For each quote, decide if it shows more fatalism or free will, and copy and paste it to the correct column.

Lastly, we did the Fate Linear Array. In a groupin a group of 2-3), sort the fate/free will words in a linear array. I have an example done with appearances that you can use to illustrate.

It will look like this, but on one side will be FATE and the other FREE WILL.

 

The list of words in in BB and there is construction paper provided. Again, there should be discussion about where some of these words go. You may need help with some of the nuances of the words, but you can ask people for help with this.

You can get the construction paper from me.
