7 ENGAGING IDEAS FOR THE CANTERBURY TALES
The king of British literature can be celebrated any time of the year, but we tend to teach Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales unit around the winter months. We bring in the sarcasm, irony, and parody, and satire with some Saturday Night Live clips along with some in-class performances. Students will love how their teacher will guide them along the pilgrimage to Thomas Becket’s shrine into their ELA classroom.
