The Canterbury Tales

Much of our week will focus on Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, with students reading and taking notes over The General Prologue to get a sense of what people in the middle ages were like. We will also read two stories: "The Wife of Bath's Tale" and "The Pardoner's Tale." You will be reading the prologue in class, but you should read "The Wife of Bath's Tale" and "The Pardoner's Tale" by Wednesday, completing the questions I passed out in class. I've also attached them here.
