I hope you all enjoyed your extra hour of sleep. I know I did.
This week we will be meeting twice, since Thursday is Veterans' Day. So we have to squeeze in much in a little time.
Therefore, be prepared to work hard and keep focused.
- On Monday you'll turn in your take home tests.
- We will also begin our studies of Middle English and delve into the Canterbury Tales. While this work is written in a form of English more decipherable than that we encountered in Beowulf, it still may seem foreign to you, so we'll figure out how to read it together. If you find the task insurmountable, you might want to consult a side by side translation of the text from Middle to Modern English.
- Wednesday will continue out reading and discussion of Chaucer, and I'll be giving you a group assignment. It's not an easy project, but it can be fun if you are creative.
- You'll also have an individual writing project on the General Prologue.
- And don't for get that Wednesday is quiz day for vocabulary, so study lessons 8 and 9.
See you in class!
Mrs. SO
