Please select one of the options below for this week’s main post. 
1) Be the writer: After reading this week’s assigned literature and online learning resources, imagine that you are a member of the group travelling to Canterbury. Then, think about what your own tale might be, in general terms… It should be an autobiographical tale reflecting upon an aspect of your personal life (your job or career; family; hobbies and interests; where you live now; places you’ve travelled or adventures you’ve experienced).
In your main post, you should first provide a title for your tale. Then, write a brief synopsis of your imagined tale you’d share to the group, or provide a brief description of your main character (you) that is at least 10 lines, written in rhyming couplets. Next, discuss how your character would likely interact with some of the other travelers described in Chaucer’s Prologue. (Use a specific example). Finally, explain to the class how your tale would be similar and/or different from any of the tales you read this week in terms of character, tone, theme, or satire.

2) Be the teacher: For your main post, select one of this week’s assigned stories and briefly identify and explain its theme(s) in your own words, addressing your classmates as if they are your students. Along the way, quote/cite a specific online learning resource (one linked in class, or a scholarly source found elsewhere) that can aid in their understanding of the story you chose. Last, at the bottom of your main post, write one relevant, engaging discussion question about your story, or this week’s assigned literature in general. The question shouldn’t be purposefully confusing or difficult, nor should it be obvious or simplistic. Any question should require a short response of no more than one paragraph for students to successfully answer- no multiple-choice, matching, fill-in-the-blank questions allowed.
Continue discussion of questions and answers as the week progresses. If replying to a classmate who is acting as the teacher, be sure your reply includes an answer to their question(s).  If possible, respond to classmates who haven’t already had their question answered by another student.
