Canterbury Tales Facebook Project
Due Date: Friday February 5th

The purpose of the project is to create a Facebook page on one of the 29 pilgrims from Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales. You will be assigned a specific pilgrim from The Canterbury Tales where you will use their section in the prologue to characterize them identifying interests, friends, and possibly why they are going on the pilgrimage. You will also be required to write a short write up explaining your rational of how you characterize your pilgrim.
You will be required to share this as a google doc using the format: Last Name Period ___ CT Facebook

This will be done almost completely in class, however after midterms you may have to finish with some loose ends on your own. Have fun with this, make it creative! You will be graded on creativity as well as content and accuracy.

Create a Facebook page for an assigned pilgrim using the following guidelines:

-Name of Pilgrim on top of the page

-A Profile picture of your pilgrim
