HW: Please read Pardoner's Tale on pg 115. I smell a quiz on this reading Thursday.....
We began the next assignment:
Make your own Pilgrimage:
Over the next week, we
will be reading a collection of “tales” by Geoffrey Chaucer.
In class we will be looking at his style, and be looking at
what a pilgrimage is, and why you would go on one. Duplicating a writer’s style is one of the
hardest tasks that I will ask you to do.
It will require close examination of the language and the way Chaucer
tells the tale.
Part 1: The Prologue Poem In this section, you will write a poem to
begin your piece. In your poem you
must: Give
yourself a title as a pilgrim
Write
4-6 Lines.
Emulate
Chaucer
Part II: The Symbolic Representation Provide a
hand drawn picture, a collage, or a brief descriptive piece which clearly gives
a symbolic representation of who you are.
Remember, symbols are common images, which are used to represent much
larger things.
Part III: The Tale
You will write about a pilgrimage that you have been on.
In your Tale, you must: Write
3 well written paragraphs
Write a tale that includes,
Characters, a plot, a setting, a climax, and a conclusion
There is a clear lesson that you
learn by the end of the tale.
