ENGLISH 12: October 24-28

Hello Seniors!

Another week is upon us, and as usual, we have a lot to do. This is an B week, so we will only meet twice. As you know, we are beginning a unit on the Medieval period, which includes a study of Geoffrey Chaucer, the Ballad as a poetic form, and Arthurian legend.

On Monday, we will review this week's vocabulary, lesson 9. Our quiz will be on Thursday, as usual.
We will also look at the historical background for this time period. We will look at two charts of personality types based on the four bodily humors. I am linking to them here and here so you can review them as needed. And we will begin the Prologue of the Canterbury Tales.

As you know, you will be working on group projects for the Canterbury Tales. I will give you some time in class on Thursday to organize your projects, and we will complete our reading of the Prologue and discussion of the pilgrims. Use the study guide graphic organizer to chart the pilgrims and judge which are the best and worst based on those characterization and tone.

Like I said, we have much to do.

See you in class!

Mrs. SO
