Also, here are the guidelines for the Canterbury Tales project.
Canterbury Tales Project
Mr. Broomhead
Option #1: Your task is to retell one of The Canterbury Tales with a group
of 3-5 students. If you are choosing to
create a video of the tale, you may work with students from any one of my AP
English courses. If you are choosing to
present a live performance, you may only work with students from your period.
·
The performance
may be live (with costumes and props) or recorded to video.
·
All group
members MUST participate in the performance.
If you are making a video, the role of cameraperson needs to be
shared.
·
All group
members must contribute to the script.
·
You may
have “special guests” who are not group members.
·
You must
use a minimum of SIXTEEN lines of Middle English at some point in the
presentation.
·
Presentations
should be about 10-15 minutes long.
·
Your score
will be based upon:
§ Thoroughness of conveying plot AND theme of the
tale
§ Creativity and quality
Option #2: You will write an original
Canterbury Tale. You can choose to have
one of the actual pilgrims tell the tale, or you may create your own pilgrim
and have him or her tell it. Please
remember that the tale should reflect the person who is telling it. Your tale should be about 3-5 pages
long. If you work with more than one
person, each person will be responsible for at least 3-5 pages of material.
All
projects are due June 3rd.
