Lit. 12, Thurs. Feb. 10

USSR-We read our novels for 20 minutes, anxiously seeking and post-it noting key passages to bring to class tomorrow for our group discussions. Be prepared to say what the passages you have highlighted reveal about your topic (theme).

In-class paragraph writing assignment

In a literary paragraph (follow the literary must-haves list) of 300 words, discuss how the religious figures in Chaucer's "The Prologue" deviate from what is traditionally expected of them.

First, create a planning sheet (for marks)

Choose three characters: nun, monk, friar are most applicable:

One one side of the chart find evidence to reveal what is expected of them and on the other side

How they deviate from these expectations.

Next, write the paragraph. We had a little less than an hour to create the chart and write the paragraph. If you were absent today, be sure to have your paragraph ready to submit.
Double space!

Friday, Feb. 11--Beowulf project is due.
