Your Own Prologue Entry
To create his characters, Chaucer used descriptive language and wrote with a specific poetic style. He described what they looked like, what they carried, their attitudes and their jobs, their sins and virtues. Using clues from the character chart and your own personality create your own
prologue. How would Chaucer describe you? Are you sinful or virtuous?
Entries will be submitted via email by 1/22/15 (2:14pm) AND presentations (PowerPoint) in class on 1/22 and 1/23
