We just finished reading The Canterbury Tales by Geoffery Chaucer. Ok, I should clarify, we finished reading the "Prologue" of The Canterbury Tales.
Afterwards, I used this idea to generate a great learning experience.
We discussed, as a class, the possibility of our class going on our own journey to New York City. Then we made a collective list of the people who would join us on this trip.
The assignment was this - the students choose one of the characters from our list and had to describe that character, as Chaucer did, in poetic form, preferably in rhyme, 15-20 lines. They also were required to draw their character.
This is hard to see, but it's a great sample.
