You have a variety of choices for your Canterbury Tales assessment. Here's a rundown of what you can do and where you can find your information:
1. Ye Olde Advert--Advertise for a trip to Canterbury from Tabard Inn. Follow this link for cool information!
2. A Distant Mirror--Create parallel time lines, one listing important national events and one listing important personal events during Chaucer's life. Your book may be of help with this, and you may also check out this website.
3. The Life of Becket--Reseach Becket and write an essay about his life, accomplishments, and the importance of his place as a pilgrimage. Read his story here and here and here!
4. The Chivalrous Code--Research chivalry and its influence on literature of the Middle Ages. Check out the Catholic Encyclopedia, the Norton Anthology, and Medieval Live.net.
5. Take a Pilgrimage to Canterbury--Create your own character and their story! You will need to research jobs and societal roles.
6. Celebrate Chaucer's Death with a Medieval Feast--There are several websites for you to check out for great recipes. Check out the Boke of Gode Cookery, Medieval Cookery, and this list of links.
