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. 

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!
