Class 10/29

Today we reviewed Beowulf some more. Then Mr. Lazarow told us what our next unit was going to be on: The Canterbury Tales. He also gave us an assignment. We are supposed to read and memorize the first 18 lines. The first 18 lines are important in understanding the rest of the text. The version of the Canterbury Tales that he wants us to use is :

canterburytales.org/canterbury_tales.html

This assignment is a 60 point quiz grade. He said that it is not a good idea to try and memorize the text the night before.

We also have multiple extra credit opportunities. We can write the first 18 lines in Middle English, we can recite the lines in regular English, or we can recite them in Middle English.
