TODAY IN CLASS
Second period began the Friar; 4th barely finished the Nun. But as a class, we will have covered The Knight, the Squire, the Yeoman, the Nun, the Monk, and the Friar before we begin talking about the following pilgrims on Monday.  When we finish the pilgrims students are largely responsible for, we will work together on the last three:  the Summoner, the Pardoner, and the Host.

FOR MONDAY (and next week--see the end of the post)
For Monday, students will need to become experts on three of the pilgrims by re-reading (probably several times) and taking detailed written notes to specifically account for two broad categories:
Description--of appearance, attire and accessories, job/profession, degree to which person is skilled/competent, degree to which person is ethically/morally upstanding, etc., degree to which the person is a good representative of his profession and a decent human being
Attitudes--of narrator, of Chaucer (and thus of what the reader is to think of the particular character) 

2nd period  Student Groups--
First, I have divided the class into six groups of five students each.  For privacy purposes, I'm identifying you only by first name (rarely with last name initial):
Group 1--Kyle A, Tristan, Michael, Amy K, Said, Nic S
Group 2--Chris, Jay, Alex H, Daniel L, Seung, Ry
Group 3--Hayley B, Taylor, Sarah, Haley M, Alex P, Jessie
Group 4--Will, Dan F, Cory, Allison, Madison, Eric
Group 5--Blaire, Tess, Laura, Andy, Alyson, David

4th period student Groups--You were told your group number in class.

For both classes, here are the pilgrims assigned to each group (yes, the Wife of Bath does appear twice).
Group 1--Merchant, Cook, Plowman
Group 2--Oxford Cleric, Skipper, Miller
Group 3--Sgt.-at-the-Law, Doctor, Manciple
Group 4--Franklin, Wife of Bath, Reeve
Group 5--Haberdasher, etc., Parson, Wife of Bath

NEXT WEEK--read two stories in the reverse order of how they appear in your book

• for Tuesday, read "The Pardoner's Tale"  and extra info (pp. 141-150).  Easy--you'll get it.
• for Thursday, read "The Nun's Priest's Tale" and extra info (pp. 119-137)  Tougher--there will be study questions.
