Objective: SWBAT analyze the methods writers use to reveal character by describing a character’s actions, appearance, thoughts and feelings, interactions with other characters, narrator’s description and dialogue.
Do-Now: Copy vocabulary and definitions from pg. 140
Today: 1) Direct vs. Indirect Characterization
2) Class will read “The Knight” on pg. 144 and discuss which techniques Chaucer uses to characterize the knight.
3) Students will each be assigned to read the description of a different character from “The Canterbury Tales.” After reading the description, each will write a brief description of the character and explain how Chaucer uses characterization to describe that character.
4) Begin writing your character description for "The Philadelphia Tales"
Exit Slip: Based on the character descriptions you have heard in class, which character do you feel will have the best story to tell as he/she travels to Canterbury? What characteristics does this character have that leads you to believe he/she will be a good storyteller?
Homework: Continue working on your "Philadelphia Tales"
