There had been no Wednesday post because there was no homework over the holiday week-end. 

TODAY IN CLASS
First period did a thorough job with the Monk and got a good start on the Friar.  Third period was a do-it-yourself project with some guiding questions on the Monk; I deeply apologize for the unusual circumstances.  Fifth got treated to what happens when straws break camels' backs . . .

Do not worry--I will carefully post what you need to know about the Monk tomorrow, and in all classes we will pick up with the complicated (and actually pretty difficult) Friar on Wednesday

FOR TOMORROW
No homework.  BUT during class tomorrow you will work independently on several much shorter pilgrim descriptions, have a few minutes to exchange ideas on those pilgrijms, and then work on three more as homework for Wednesday.

There will be a hand-out that will specifiy which particular pilgrims you're assigned to focus on, so I don't actually want you to get a head-start on this tonight! :)

Please DO realize, however, that every student ultimately responsible for knowing all of the pilgrims in the General Prologue, not just the ones you are assigned to take detailed notes on.
