Resetting The Canterbury Tales - Stage 5.

As I rewrote my final draft I looked at the ideas I put in my first draft and looked at the ideas laid out by other in my peer review comments and attempted to incorporate all of those into one cumulative piece. Reesha and Jeanne had really good thoughts about how my essay should be laid out and what would be better to help my reader’s fully understand where I was going with the resetting of The Canterbury Tales to the Kessler Campanile on Tech’s campus. When I attempted the audio clip, they were constructive in their ideas that maybe the sounds I collected from Einstein Bro.’s Bagel Shop weren’t particularly in tune with the idea I had for the Campanile. As this was assigned in winter and I wasn’t able to capture the multitude of students usually surrounding the Campanile, I had to find another sound that would work well. They were very helpful in suggesting songs to use, rather than trying to piece together the sounds of students talking and gathering. My final draft attempts to explain what I saw in the Campanile and how it related Chaucer’s setting of the public house in his work. It worked well for me to take as many words needed to fully explain my ideas rather than trying to compact into 500 words exactly. I know that at times I will have to limit myself in the amount of words I compose, but having the liberty to write what I willed, I was able to get all of my ideas out.
