Introduction
Today's mission is to find out some background information about The Canterbury Tales before we read it in class. Thus, instead of hearing me lecture, which I know you're dying to, we search the web.
Task
Learn new information while you search the web and answer the questions.
Process
1. Read each question on the handout.
2. Then find the answers on the links listed below.

Evaluation
Final question must be answered on the back of the handout before you hand it in. What have you learned today? Sum it up in one sentence.
