=Title of Lesson:=

===Overview: The Prologue to The Canterbury Tales is an important piece of the entire work. It gives us a snapshot of the people of that time period. We will compare and contrast the people of Geoffrey Chaucer's day to the people of today.===

===Standards: ||~ Competency Goal 1 ||~ The learner will express reflections and reactions to print and non-print text as well as to personal experience. || 1.02 Respond to texts so that the audience will:===
 * empathize with the voice of the text.
 * make connections between the learner's life and the text reflect on how cultural or historical perspectives may have influenced these responses.
 * examine the learner's own response in light of peers' responses recognize features of the author's use of language and how the learner relates these features to his/her own writing.

Essential Question:
===Learning Outcomes (What can they do?): Demonstrate undetstanding of Chaucer's use of bias in his writing and his portrait if the people of the day by creating their own pilgrimage using 3-5 Modern day Chaucerian characters===

Prior Internet/Web 2.0 Resource Knowledge:
===Instructional Strategy/Activities (Lecture, workshop, etc.): Students will choose 3-5 characters from the Prologue. They will create a sketch of that character from Chaucer's time period and a companion sketch to show a modern version of this character. These characters will be displayed in a Glog.===
