Thanksgiving  Break

As a reminder nothing is due on Grandparents Day, Tues. Nov 24th,

Over the break you have the option to do an extra credit assignment. After reading the prologue of The Canterbury Tales, you can choose one of the following creative "character study" assignments and share your work/performance on Tuesday, Dec 1. You will receive an extra 100 % quiz score if you meet the stated requirements.

1. Prepare a dish that will feed the entire class. Share the recipe and history of your medieval culinary delight with your classmates

2. Write a two to three minute song describing one of Chaucer's characters. Please have accompanying music and a costume.

3. Create a two to three minute video scene or music video focusing on one or two characters. Create appropriate dialogue and behavior for the characters.

4, Design and draw/paint a poster depicting one of Chaucer's characters. Their physical depiction must be similar to his descriptions.

I will give you a detailed rubric on Tuesday.
