ESSENTIAL QUESTION: What impressions of medieval life can we draw because of Chaucer?
Learners discussed their assigned pilgrims. We got through the knight, the squire, the yeoman, the nun (prioress), the monk, and the friar. We noted Chaucer's physical descriptions and characterization, noting that it's through subtle mockery (and sometimes not so subtle) that we see his criticsm of society, in particular his view of pilgrims from the clerical estate. (And, by contrast, how he views those from the noble estate - there's a reason why the knight is the first pilgrim!)
We reviewed the Learning Inventory document.
