March 4: Test Review

10-line poems were due.

Students worked on vocabulary in groups and shared logical relationships they found between words.

Students listened to a modern rap version of "The Wife of Bath's Tale" by Baba Brinkman. They identified differences between this version and Chaucer's version. (What is different? Are parts left out? What about the language?)

Students watched a silent Sims version of "The Wife of Bath's Tale."
