Before we even read The Miller’s Tale today, we watched this modern day blacksmith create the Adventure Time sword, with special attention paid to the red hot glowing metal.

Then, we read The Miller’s Tale and completed a RAFT over the story.

Here is a list of possible topics that we came up with in class:

You should have about 30 minutes to work on A Table for Twelve when you get done with this today. Remember – we are an accelerated classroom, so we work all the time here! 🙂

PARENTAL ADVISORY: EXPLICT LYRICS – How many of you have seen a CD with that warning on it and avoided it? Or does it just make you want to listen to the CD even more?

That’s how the Miller’s Prologue started out. Riley even asked people if they wanted to skip the story and go to the library because it was going to be a naughty story, but NO ONE LEFT.

The story, y’all, if you didn’t read it, go read it. You can either read the story in NoFear or read/listen to the rap.

We then did RAFT for the story with a postcard. The post card template is in LMS.

After that, we worked on the moral thermometer.
