  1. Essential Questions • What is a pilgrimage, and why does Chaucer choose this framework? • How do Chaucer’s pilgrims represent everyday medieval life? • How are Chaucer’s pilgrims mirrored in modern day life?

  3. Frame Story • A frame story (also frame tale, frame narrative, etc.) employs a narrative technique whereby an introductory main story is composed, at least in part, for the purpose of setting the stage for a fictive narrative or organizing a set of shorter stories, each of which is a story within a story. • What books, television shows, or films use the frame story technique? • Why did Chaucer choose this format? • What is the back story on The Canterbury Tales?

  4. Page 144, Lines 1-35Paraphrasing • Paraphrasing is to restate complex sentences in your own words • Use the “Reading Strategy” worksheet • Read lines 1-35 and write difficult passages on the worksheet, then write your paraphrased version • Have the group work together • You have 26 minutes. • One in your group will share with the large group.

  5. Page 163, Lines 735-856Still Paraphrasing • Follow along and listen to these lines. • After the reading, discuss how your team would paraphrase what Chaucer writes in these lines • On one sheet of paper, write a summary of those lines, using the textbook as back-up • Report to class • You have 11 minutes

  6. Characterization • Each team will pick two characters at random and read Chaucer’s description of them in the prologue • Your team will complete a Characterization Chart for each of your pilgrims • Someone from your team will introduce that character to the class using Powerpoint slides
