We're in the last good push before a unit test on "The Canterbury Tales" on March 26. Today we had a short lesson on allusions (see below for a refresher). Here are your assignments for the next two weeks:
Today: Start work on researching the allusions in Tales we have read. Start with "The Canon Yeoman's Tale," as that is the next tale you will read. DUE DATE: 3/26 (for the test!) TURN IN ANY UNGRADED SIFTS!
Tuesday: We will begin looking at how to take all those SIFTs and make them useful in a writing assignment. We'll be looking at how Chaucer uses all those lovely allusions, symbols, and figurative language to reveal theme. BRING YOUR SIFTS!
Thursday: SIFT due and QUIZ on the "Canon Yoeman's Tale."
ALSO DUE: LRJ #3 due (see below for prompt).
Next Week: Tuesday review for unit test, then test on Thursday.
