- GUM: Exercise 6 - Fixing Fragments
- Collective Essay - today we begin working on an essay together, boys to do one and girls to do another. Please go to GC (Google Classroom) and see the first installment that awaits you. I will be adding additional requirements as we sally forth to wage war on the essay!
- Collective Essay Steps
- Brainstorm 1: Brainstorm and "textstorm" as many ironies in the story proper (not the prologues) as you can find. Be sure you have recorded the following elements also:
- speaker
- line number(s)
- Topic Sentence 1 (provisional): Next, you were supposed to choose several of the best ironies in the story and write one sentence that sums up how the ironies help show the moral of each tale.
- Brainstorm 2: Now, conduct a new brain-textstorm session in which you consider how the character of each storyteller further adds to the irony of each tale. Look at how both direct and indirect characterization adds to the ironic layers (see both general prologue in which Chaucer's narrator describes the character and also the prologue to each tale in which the character introduces the tale). For those doing "The Pardoner's Tale," don't forget the text that concludes the tale, the "outroduction."
- Topic Sentence 2 (provisional): Again, write another provisional topic sentence that sums up what you might want to most fully communicate with the ironies of this paragraph.
- Final Paragraph: Consider what Chaucer might specifically be satirizing about Medieval life through his character and respective tale.
HW: Study for your Unit 3 Exam (Middle Ages), which I will give on Wednesday (scantron). Please see Unit 3 tab to prepare for your exam. For GUM, you will be responsible for both Run-Ons (fused sentences and comma splices) and Fragments.
