Final Canterbury Tales Assignment

For your LAST Canterbury Tales assignment, please do the following:

1. Watch all of the PowToons!  They are awesome and highly entertaining (and short).  You all did a great job.

2.  Pick TWO of them to comment on.  Your commentary should focus on ANALYSIS.

Things to think about: What point was Chaucer trying to make through this story?  Why did this particular character tell this specific story?  What elements of the story are satirical?  What people/events/ideas from Chaucer's time was he trying to satirize?

Remember, you can either make a brand new comment on a post with a new idea someone hasn't stated OR you can directly respond to a comment someone has already made, as long as you are bringing a new idea to the table in some way.
