Before we even go into what we did in class today, be aware of a few things:

  • You will not be able to take your laptops over Spring Break.
  • Gradespeed will not be available during Spring Break.
  • There is a small chance that Angel LMS won’t be open over SB, too.
  • This does not mean that you have an excuse not to work on your zeros over the break.

Phew. With that said, we have one day left before Spring Break! w00t!

Before we read, I asked the girls in the class a question: What is the one thing you want more than anything else in the world?

Then, I asked the guys would they spend the rest of their lives with an ugly, old partner who is faithful, nice, and intelligent OR a beautiful partner who cheats, lies, is mean, and starts petty fights all the time.

Then we read/listened to the Wife of Bath’s tale. This year, we used Bab Brinkman’s rap. You can find the text and song in LMS.

Afterwards, we created an online dating profile for the Lady in the tale. There are LOTS of links in LMS to help you create this, but the six basic questions are as follows:

Remember – I need to get an idea from her answers that not only is she ugly and old from the questions, but also her ideas about wealth, fidelity, appearance, and morality. If you don’t remember, go back to her lecture when the knight says that he thinks she is too ugly and low class to love.

Have fun!
