Warm-Up O Tell me about a time you went on a trip with people that you did not know very well. Write about the members of the group, the purpose of the trip, the different relationships between the group members. What were the difficulties? The fun? The unknown? O If you have never been on a trip with people you didn’t know well, tell me about any road trip you’ve been on.

Independent Read O Silently read the introduction to The Canterbury Tales Prologue O During this initial read, do not take notes or annotate. When finished evaluate how much of the Prologue made sense to you and rate your reading comprehension with the following scale: 4I totally get it! 3I get it. 2I’m beginning to get it… 1I need help! 0I am totally lost!

Where Did You Land on the Scale? 4, 3, 2,1, or 0 ? Why???

Using Your Smartphones or a Dictionary… O Write a brief definition of the bolded words from the intro to the Prologue in the margins on your handout ! O Hint: some of these words may be defined in your textbook on page 140/glossary in the back of the book

In your own words, paraphrase the following passage: “The veins are bathed in liquor of such power as brings about the engendering of the flower” (Chaucer 140, 3-4) 5. What is the main idea of the full passage?

6. What helped you understand this passage better; Defining vocab, re-reading, paraphrasing?
