Canterbury Tales Extra Credit Assignment

Get 10 extra Habit points for writing an intro to the 30^th member of the Canterbury Tales crew. Your character can be yourself, or any other person of interest (such as Hamlet, Justin Bieber, or Bruce Wayne). 

Requirements:

·         It must introduce the character 

·         The character must be introduced as a title (Think of it like a group they belong to: dork, superhero, prince, diva)

·         Must describe the character in some accuracy while also commenting on his or her character (Use satire or humor- that’s what Chaucer did)

·         Every two lines must rhyme (couplet)

·         Must be 10 lines long

·         There must be 10 syllables in every line.

For example:

There was a Dork emerging from the crowd,

He spoke of nonsense with pride, and quite loud.

Awkwardly tall, with horrendous dance moves-

Even his parents greatly disapproved.

He wore a Batman shirt with a striped tie,

With such a style, students wished him to die.

He spoke of hashtags and the Walking Dead,

He bored us to tears, “Please shut up” I pled.

I glanced at him, sighed, and felt my fury,

This would be a long walk to Canterbury.

This assignment is due in class on Tuesday, May 20^th.
