ESSENTIAL QUESTION: Why are representative literary pieces important in showing us what was valued in the time period.
We discussed other features of medieval poetry: strophes, and bob and wheels.
We read together the excerpt from Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Learners practised paraphrasing, summarizing, and appreciating the excerpt. Learners created graphic organizers to compare Chaucer's knight (from the Prologue) and Gawain with regard to the ideals of knightly behaviour: honour, courage, courtesy.
NEXT CLASS: Morte D'arthur
