PERIODs 2 & 4
1. AR reading 10 mins
2. Literary analysis of the satire in The Canterbury Tales:
The first body paragraph was a description of an ideal nun.
3. Write the second body paragraph: Chaucer's nun.
Show the differences between Chaucer's nun and the ideal nun.
Suggestions: She swears an oath. (Swearing oaths is not accepted in Christianity.)
She eats too much. (Nuns give food to starving people. They take a minimum amount for themselves.)
She dresses elegantly, with jewelry.
She weeps if a mouse is caught in a trap. (Would she weep if a rat were caught?
What if someone stepped on a cockroach?)
