Today we heard about our assignment for the Canterbury Tales. We are not going to read the whole text, but instead each of us will be given a specific pilgrim to research tomorrow. We are going to be responsible for a 10 minute long presentation for all of the info for our pilgrim. You have to use the text and info from the prologue, the individual tale, and the epilogue.
We also started to discuss the rhyme scheme for the text. It was composed in iambic pentameter. This means each line is made of 10 syllables, using a pattern of stressed then unstressed syllables (with five sets of stressed and unstressed syllables). The iamb is one of four units used in English Language Poetry called feet.
