Homework

Seniors
For Thursday, find one logical fallacy, define it, and provide your own example. Examples can come from your experience, the news, or a website. However, if you use a source, you must also cite it properly according to MLA. Type this up and bring it to class. Use the following site for your definitions: thou shalt not commit logical fallacies.

Sophomores
Annotate the first twelve pages of "The General Prologue" handout. Create a two-color key on the front cover for (1) physical description and (2) personality characteristics. Highlight passages that correspond to each, and be ready to share yours with the class. The characters you are responsible for tonight are from the nobility and the church (Knight to Friar).
