Homework 12/2

4 DAYS Left Until the End of the Canned Food Drive!!!

Finish reading and annotating "The Nun's Priest's Tale."

Study for vocabulary 20 Quiz on Wednesday.

Write lines 1-50 of your original tale:

• Start a Google doc and title it --> Class name - Last Name - Original Tale. 
• Remember this is a poem and should not be written in paragraphs.
• Label your lines in multiples of 5. For example at the end of line five type the number 5, at the end of line ten type the number 10, and so on.
• Like Chaucer, you need to write in rhyming couplets. Every two lines must rhyme, but you can fudge with words that sound similar and are not true rhyming words just as Chaucer did. 
• Please use the plot outline you used in class to stay "on track."
