Chaucer's Pilgrims & their Tales
Below, you'll find links to the pilgrims in our class's 21st-century tapestry. Each team was responsible for creating three artifacts, two from the perspective of the team's pilgrim and one persuasive, contextualizing document.
Each link below leads to a team's introductory page, explains and justifies the decisions made in each team's digital representation of its pilgrim. At the end of that page, you'll also find a link to both a digital autobiography (if each pilgrim were to create a 21st-century digital "portrait" of him- or herself, if you will) and a digital commonplace book/reaction space (if each pilgrim were to utilize a 21st-century digital communication tool to record important quotes and reactions to a specific tale, as if the pilgrim were keeping a commonplace book while hearing that tale performed on the way to Canterbury).
Like their pilgrims, in creating and presenting these artifacts, the teams played bards. And like in The Canterbury Tales, a Host group of specialists and non-specialists analyzed and voted on a winner. The winner and some notes from the Host team can be found here.
