Wednesday, 11/12/14: CWP Work

* Open
  • Add to terms: 
    • HEROIC COUPLET: Two successive rhyming lines of iambic pentameter. The second line is usually end-stopped (also more rarely called "the neoclassic couplet" if the poem hails from that period--1700's into 1800's)
      • Would we call Chaucer's couplets neoclassic couplets? 
  • Example:
    • Fear not the curse of Chaucer killing you,
    • For a sound couplet's all that you must do.  
  • List 3 (21--30): Chiasmus in Convalescent Homes
     
  • avocation  
  • capricious  
  • disparity 
  • efficacy  
  • epistle  
  • hospice 
  • impetus  
  • moribund  
  • reticent  
  • vacillate 

* Prologue Review

* Chaucerian Story
  • This could be any tale of old (you don't have to invent a new one, but you may). 
  • Consider the kind of tale that might suit or ironically comment on your character.  
* Period 3

* Period 4
* Period 5

* Period 6

HW: 10+ heroic couplets of your character's tale.  We will consider an introduction to your tale once we have the classes frame setup (on block day).
