Canterbury Tales. Chaucerian Pilgrimage: a technique in which students create their own pilgrimage to important and interesting places on their campus, while relating tales they have developed in the style of Chaucer. Students as Teachers: a format in which students teach selected Canterbury Tales to their classmates. Curriculum issues. The Canterbury Tales (Middle English: Tales of Caunterbury) is a collection of 24 stories that runs to over 17,000 lines written in Middle English by Geoffrey Chaucer between 1387 and 1400. In 1386, Chaucer became Controller of Customs and Justice of Peace and, in 1389, Clerk of the King's work. This piece of literature is the very first of its kind. It is the first collection/anthology of short stories as we know them today. Chaucer brilliantly gives us an amazingly accurate cross.

Option OneCreate a travel brochure click for RUBRIC

Option TwoCreate a blog using Google Sites or Weebly from the perspective of one of travelers. click for RUBRIC

You must have at least 12 entries of substantial length. Think of these entries like journal entries recounting everything that the traveler would have encountered. Please see me by _________________.
Please remember that a blog is similar to a diary entry. Yours should include a reference to the day’s events, but it should also involve personal reactions and reflections from your chosen traveler. Your entries must stay true to the character and reputation of the traveler involved.

Option ThreeCreate a music video that details the main ideas of The Canterbury Tales or of one of the tales. click for RUBRIC

Your video must be posted as a YouTube video and shared with the class. And yes, it must really have music with it (even if it is a rap).
You will also submit a copy of your lyrics typed.
Your video must not use this same song choice, but if you need an example, see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBa5nN_JyPk&feature=youtu.be

Choice FourCreate a comic-style version of one of the tales. click for RUBRIC

Include major characters and events of the tale. Try to highlight Chaucer’s humor in your rendition.

Choice FiveCreate a Facebook page for one of the travelers or for Chaucer. click for RUBRIC click here for a TEMPLATE- remember to go to 'File'>'Make a Copy'

(NOTE: You will not be making an actual Facebook on the website; you will be creating a physical profile modeled after the look and elements of an actual Facebook page. I have a template you can use).

You should include all of the aspects of a Facebook page, including: a picture, statues updates, friends, information, bio (the about yourself), birthday, what network your character has joined, political views, favorite movies, favorite TV shows, top friends, location, family, books, quotes (from what we have read…use one that describe your character) music, wall, marital status, education, family, applications, etc. Think about who would write on your characters wall. What would they say? When you are writing status updates think about their travels. You should have at least 12 wall posts/status updates.
This page must be in color and must be neat.

Choice SixCreate your own modern-day tale. click for RUBRIC
