Geoffrey Chaucer set The Canterbury Tales in a public house in England. This setting brought together various social classes in a setting that was neutral to all. I chose to reset The Canterbury Tales to Kessler Campanile on Georgia Tech’s campus. This is a common meeting ground for many diverse students. It is a place with wide, open places to sit and hold conversations.
• Analysis of the setting of the Canterbury Tales
• Analysis of the setting of the Campanile
• Analysis of the characters in the Canterbury Tales intro
• Analysis of the general people in the Campanile
• Conclusion.
I'll end up adding more details and such, but I figured this would suffice for a rough draft. I'll probably end up posting a more in-depth post later.

Like I said before, I think the Campanile is an excellent choice because I think it embodies the tavern completely. The outline is sufficiently specific but general enough that you can expand on it so that's good as well. The only thing is that you didn't post your audio track along with your draft to this stage so I don't know if you made any changes to the one you previously posted, and if so what they are, so my previous comment would suffice I guess. Overall I don't have much to critique on this. I think it's well put together.
ReplyDeleteYou did not post your slideshow or audio track so I do not know if you changed anything responding to the feedback.
ReplyDeleteThere is a thesis, but it is just not one sentence. There is definitely an emerging thesis comparing the campanile to the public house.
You may want to expand on the meaning of the general prologue, relationship to social and historical context, and significance for the tales.
There are no plans for a conclusion but I have always heard the in the intro you "tell them what you are going to tell them", in the body paragraphs "tell them", and in the conclusion "tell them what you told them".
Your project is definitely coming together very well!
