Creative Project on the Merchant from The Canterbury Tales

In this project, we are tasked with reimagining a character from the Prologue of The Canterbury Tales. We'll focus on the Merchant, who is described with unique physical characteristics. Using construction paper, we will rewrite his description in the first person, starting with, "I am the merchant with a forking beard and motley dress..." On the reverse side, we will create a visual representation of the Merchant, incorporating details from Chaucer's description as well as our own creative interpretations.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Canterbury Tales Character Models • Pick a character from the Prologue who has sufficient “physical” description. • On a piece of construction paper, rewrite the characters description using first person. • Merchant: “I am the merchant with a forking beard and motley dress; high on my horse I sat, upon my head a Flemish beaver hat and on my feet daintily buckled boots”

  2. Visual Interpretation • On the other side of your paper, create a face of your character using as much physical description as possible provided by Chaucer. • You may use all provided art supplies to be as creative as possible. • Improvise facial details that may not be revealed in the text (hair, hats, facial hair, ear-rings, etc…) • Use the internet to search pictures of your character for guidelines in your project.

  3. Final Product • Your final product must have: • Your name and hour and your character’s name • The page number and line numbers in which your character’s description appears in the Literature book • On one side, the character’s complete description re-written using first person (I, me, my. . .) • On the other side, a worthy attempt at creating a visual representation of that character
