Today:

A Block:

We selected one of your 3 pilgrims and I asked you to write a one page story that they might have told on their pilgrimage.  I collected these.

We shared these and guessed at which pilgrim would have told the tale.

We watched two more of the C. Tales from the BBC

HW Read the Pardoner's Tale

C Block:

We took notes on Chaucer

We broke into small groups and each looked at the characterization of 3 pilgrims.
Each group presented these.
You all took notes.  These can be used on the Quiz.
