GOOD MORNING.
Here's your work for this week:
1. Revise your folk ballad if necessary. Please highlight those revised lines for me. If you needed to start from scratch, just repost the new version above the old like you would an essay.
2. Do frontier vocab from your own reading. Slight change this time: do the regular steps for 3 new words. Then, for two previous words from your old frontier vocab, find them being used in some other context (an internet search would be easiest, but you can find them anywhere). Write out the context (the sentence it was used in or thereabouts) and then imitate the usage in a sentence of your own. So for these two review words you'll do everything except guess and provide the definition (you've done those things already). Label them "old words" so I know what I'm looking at.
3. Read "Wife of Bath's Tale" and "Pardoner's Tale" (p.80-96); Answer the Interpreting questions on .89 and .96.

4. warm-up: How does Chaucer
deal with chivalry? (You might re-read the section on p.47.) His use of
negative examples are valid ways also (e.g. the three rioters were clearly examples of un-chivalrous behavior and its consequences; also, the rioters were NOT brave, they were drunk. They can only be examples of what happens when one is un-chivalrous). 100+ words.
5. Read the Sir Thomas Malory bio and the excerpt from Le Morte d'Arthur (p.98-102).

6. For each of the following chivalrous traits find one quote from one of our medieval readings and provide a
short explanation. Include at least one from each of
the readings (there were three Chaucer readings and one Mallory reading).
1. Honorable
2. Courteous
3. Generous
4. Brave
5. Skillful in battle
6. Respectful to women
7. Helpful to the weak
Examples should refer to male characters only. Women in medieval times were the beneficiaries of chivalry, not the benefactors.
7. LBGB. Read chapter 3 this week and teach me how to use these:
1. Honorable
2. Courteous
3. Generous
4. Brave
5. Skillful in battle
6. Respectful to women
7. Helpful to the weak
Examples should refer to male characters only. Women in medieval times were the beneficiaries of chivalry, not the benefactors.
7. LBGB. Read chapter 3 this week and teach me how to use these:
a. affect / effect
b. compose / comprise
c. farther / further
d. i.e. / e.g.
e. its / it's
Next week we'll write an essay on — you guessed it — Chivalry.
HAVE A GREAT WEEK!
