Canterbury Tales Stereotype Poem: Creating a Modern-day Pilgrim
- PDF
Description
In this assignment, students become a modern-day Chaucer and create a stereotype poem based upon a contemporary figure in society. They must write a poem that describes this modern-day pilgrim, including imagery and rhetorical devices, that reveals a clear tone either approving or disapproving of the figure.
After creating the poem, students are asked to write a paragraph explanation of their stereotype poem that includes the effect of their rhetorical devices. This is an excellent way to make Chaucer's work relevant to today's society and even an effective writing task for students to complete BEFORE reading Canterbury Tales. Students will LOVE sharing their stereotype poems with the entire class!
This assignment includes a student sample of a stereotype poem about politicians as well as a rubric to grade the final product.
This activity is included in the Canterbury Tales MEGA BUNDLE-- Great for Distance Learning & In Class Study!
