TODAY IN CLASS
All classes have completed the first three pilgrims: The Knight, his son the Squire, and their travel companion, the Yeoman. We are ready for the Nun. Your homework follows . . .
FOR TOMORROW
Read lines 122-144, at least two times. You can print this page and do the rest of the work on that print-out, OR you can work at your computer but write notes and annotations on your own paper. If you do that, make sure it's on loose-leaf paper you can hand in.
What to do--
Consider what kind of "praise" the narrator is giving the Nun. Some things sound like compliments, but other comments "undercut" the compliments, either by adding some negative detail or by showing that really, there's nothing particularly special or praiseworthy going on. Your job is to figure out these discrepancies.
It MIGHT make it easier if you read the rest of the Nun's description, just to get an overview, but I really want you to focus your observations and comments on lines 122-144.
Due tomorrow at the start of class.
MAKE-UPS
If you missed Friday's quiz and did not make it up today (a couple of people did), you must do it tomorrow after school or else on Wednesday MORNING. No after-school make-ups on Wednesday.
