TODAY IN CLASS
Specific information for 1st period:
1) Please bring your quiz back with you to class tomorrow. I want to make the person-specific corrections to your paper. This especially involves the last two questions for just half of you.
2)Here are the correct answers for your quiz; try to figure out what clues many of these would contain even if you did NOT "know" the reference. For example, if a clue mentions "walking the plank," you'd have to be on a boat, right? Think SKIPPER. Or if a "golden thumb" to "gauge an oat," who dealt with grain? The one who grinds it--the MILLER. And if "stimulating the heart" is mentioned, wouldn't that logically be the DOCTOR? (You get the idea . . . ) Others, it is true, were less easy to figure out, but many of these had phrases or elements that I tried very hard to help you notice and remember from our class discussions.
The answers: 1-Friar 2-Pardoner 3-Doctor 4-Summoner 5-Oxford Cleric 6-Cook 7-Manciple
8-Miller 9-Pardoner 10-Skipper 11-Miller 12-Wife of Bath 13-Monk 14- Summoner 15- Reeve
16-Knight 17-Plowman 18-Merchant 19-Parson 20-Wife of Bath 21-Lawyer 22-Skipper 23-Franklin
24-Nun (Prioress) 25-Friar 26-Oxford Cleric 27-Doctor [Remember that 26-27 varied by class and that this list is for first period only! 3rd and 5th got these in class.]
To EVERYONE--yes, in other classes we went over them. In all classes we talked about the Pardoners Tale questions. I am thinking/addressing the problem of the curve and how much.
In first period ONLY, we started Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. We'll get things sorted out over the next few days.
FOR TOMORROW
The Chaucer unit test. There will be a fair number of short answer and short direct responses. I am still steering away from extended paragraph responses on this test, but DO expect a certain amount of writing. Have a pen!!
