We finished the prologue today – and we had a few people sing some songs together. In first block, Carlos and Tanner were wonderful singers. In second it was Cris and Aaron. Third block singers Jordan and Adonnis made a beautiful harmony together!

Thank you singers! 😉

After we finished we worked on five short answer questions: You don’t *have* to use the OER format, but it would make things easier if you did.

Make sure that if you turn in any work that you want to get graded before the progress reports that it gets turned in before Monday. My grades are due Monday at 8:00, but if you turn in a major grade on Monday, I will grade that in time for the progress report.

As the pirate adventurers left King Arthur, we noticed that we ere being followed by the Frenchies! We opted to hide out by going on a pilgrimage with these random 30 people who were on their way to Canterbury Cathedral. We have to make sure we know who these people are in case we have PROVE that we are PILGRIMS.

Today, we read The General Prologue of the Canterbury Tales (go download it from the Canterbury Tales folder). First block read up to the Franklin, and 2nd and 3rd read up to the Friar.

If you take notes, you will be able to use those notes on the final exam next month. Remember that the notes and the highlighting are where I get the questions for the final exam.

Here’s a picture of Aly looking very sad because she was EXCOMMUNICATED and doomed to go to Hell. Sad Aly.

We were all very glad to see Riley was in school today.

Today, she gave us time to work on our poster and then had us convert our poster’s paragraphs into a paper. There is a new folder called Pimp my Paper and this is where all of our material for the paper will go.

Remember, in order to pimp your paper out, you have to have to something to edit and revise! Make sure you have this to work on for Monday!

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!

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).
