Lit 12: Finish reading and prep the Chaucer section

Finish reading Beowulf, Sir Gawain and Chaucer. Read your notes as well.
Prepare your section of Chaucer and be prepared to present:

  • Read the passage aloud 
  • Focus on the satirical devices (hyperbole, understatement, wit, sarcasm and irony) and state what exactly Chaucer is satirizing 
  • Identify at least two key quotations and images we can use to study for the test
