-The due date for our Coat of Arms projects has been moved to Monday, Nov. 24th to give everyone an extra day to ask Laz any questions they might have regarding it since he was out a couple of days.
-Everyone in class was assigned assigned a pilgrim from the Canterbury Tales. Each person has to provide a 10 minute presentation on their pilgrim. Mr. Laz will do the first two (Knight and Squire) and everyone else will present according to the order their pilgrim appears in the prologue (see Mr. Laz if you are unsure of your date). Mr. Laz strongly recommended the use of handouts. A test will be given after all of the presentations are done so make sure you put everything about your pilgrim in the presentation.
-We took more notes on the Canterbury tales.
-Scantion is the use of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable.
-Multi syllable words have at least one stressed syllable, but they cannot all be stressed
-single syllable words are stressed or unstressed depending on the context they are in
-The Canterbury Tales is a narrative. The situation is a pilgrimage to Canterbury. The General Prologue tells us when the pilgrimage took place, where they were, and why each person was going, whether it was for social, professional, or religious reasons.
-The pilgrims are described by their look. This is also a description of each pilgrims character and behavior. The pilgrims are named by their professions.
