We are still working on the character outlines from the Prologue to the Canterbury Tales by Chaucer.  We should finish them on Monday.  Over the weekend, please read The Pardoner's Tale in Our Literary Heritage (or online).  Answer the following two questions: 1. Briefly summarize this tale. 2.  How does this poem fit the classification of a moral exemplum?   We will be looking further into this tale next week.  Why is it so ironic that it's the Pardoner who tells this tale?

Complete the exercise on the Prologue to the Canterbury Tales for tomorrow's class. (Figure out the description for the characters listed in the Prologue.  Was Chaucer being sarcastic about them, or did he paint them in a favorable manner?)

Read the section on Geoffrey Chaucer and the whole Prologue to the Canterbury Tales over your long weekend.  Remember, Chaucer was writing about these characters for a reason--he wanted to give you a glimpse of society through his eyes!

Today we looked at the ballad "Twa Corbies." Some people asked for more help on lyrics, so I compiled a few and the FRIDTM questions you should look at when analyzing these poems.  Please have them completed for tomorrow.
