Homework for tonight:
Juniors need to study for a quiz tomorrow (Thursday) on the "The Prologue" to The Canterbury Tales. The best way to study for this is to make note cards on each of the pilgrims described. Don't forget about the author, setting, context and language.
We'll talk about the memorization assignment in class, but to give you an idea of what it sounds like, check out the following clip:
Seniors have two things to do, really:
- First, make sure you have at least THREE relevant and reliable sources for tomorrow. Try using Google News for recent articles.

Read through the handout I gave you in class, and pick out quotes to support to refute; you'll be asked to refer to the handout at least three times.I thought about the question of "how far is far enough," and thought I'd look at the actual site. I found this 360 view from the proposed site at Washington Post.
