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.

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 today with Riley giving each person a random word. Some sample words: cousin, fear, peanut, goat, random, duck. You couldn’t choose your word, but you could swap with someone. Riley wrote about her cousin.

We then talked about the “encounter” (aka quiz) from yesterday and she reviewed her major points that we’d need to know to understand the story.

However, that “encounter” gathered attention. And not the good kind of attention. The English Navy is on the search for the pirate who got into that fight, and we aren’t a position to fight the entire Navy. It’s time we slink into obscurity and wait for the heat to die down. We ended up meeting a group of 29 people at the Tabard Inn who were going on a pilgrimage to Canterbury. This was the perfect opportunity for us to hide out with them and wait for the authorities to calm down.

The only thing is that since we are travelling with these people, we have to know who they are. It would be a dead giveaway that we didn’t belong with these people if we didn’t even know who they are!

As we meet these people, we will take down notes about them to help us out in our journey so that it will look like we know what we are talking about. We’re going to use The Pilgim Cheat Sheet in LMS.

We were introduced to the Knight today and we filled out the cheat sheet about him together.
