TODAY IN CLASS
Work on what Chaucer expects to accomplish for each pilgrim.  Students copied the following into their notes, duplicated here for future reference:

Now, in your own notes, you should keep track of the details the narrator reveals about each traveler:

·       profession/job [both Chaucer’s term and modern

 term/description]

·       general physical appearance

·       clothing/attire

·       other accessories that are mentioned

·       chief character traits and how we know

·       does the narrator seem to approve or disapprove? 

do we believe him (sincerity vs. satire)

·       anything else that seems important for a particular

pilgrim?

We worked quite a while with the Knight--finished with him, but did not get on to the Squire and Yeoman.  We will work with  them tomorrow.
