Work on organizing your thoughts and perfecting the thesis for the following question (we'll write the paragraph in class--if you do really well in class, you will not have to re-write it)
In a literary paragraph of min. 300 words, discuss what Chaucer values. Include in your discussion which satirical devices effectively reveal these values. Some of the values we discussed are honesty, courage, kindness, humility, morality, service, hard work, equality, fairness, respect and truth. Choose one or two only. Focus on the best examples you can find to prove your thesis.
Tonight: Read "The Pardoner's Tale" and post-it note three strong examples of irony. You may choose dramatic irony, situational irony or verbal irony.
In class tomorrow for the paragraph, you may use your text, your notes, your literary must-haves list, a thesaurus.
