Game On, Chaucer!

* Open
  • Austere (adj.): severe in manner or appearance; strict; without ornament; rough
    • Etymology: Greek: austeros "bitter, harsh," especially "making the tongue dry" (originally used of fruits, wines)
    • The austere period preceded the decadence of Rome, and with the decadence came the eventual disintegration. 
    • Now please compose your own sentence with 
      • the word
      • a usage problem word (see the right side of the blog)
      • and a comma, semicolon, or colon 
  • By the end of this week, you should have 20 words (with a definition and example sentence) from your own reading. 
  • Recitation
*  Now read and respond to "The Pardoner's Tale" in the Chaucer guide.
