Canterbury Tales - Analyzing the Pilgrims

Posted by emeraldjde on March 22, 2009

Description

At the end of TCT, I have my students write their first research assignment of the year. Based on their previous writing submissions and critical thinking skills displayed in discussion, I assign them each a pilgrim from the General Prologue (leaving out the REALLY obscure ones), and then I explain their research assignment (this handout). It's basically a research-driven exploration into direct and indirect characterization. I also give them the history of the four temperaments, the humours, physiognomy, and such. Look for uploads: Physiognomy and Humours, Personality Table, and two transparencies I make called Humours Table 1 and 2.
