The Canterbury Tales

While looking for something else on the Online Waldorf Library, I ran across these Three One-Act Plays based on the Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer (PDF), written by Roberto Trostli for Sixth or Seventh Grade.

I have never taught the Canturbury Tales in middle school before because I always think of them as something covered in High School; I just wanted to share the link here in case someone found it useful!

Actually...

It would be nice to have a second Language Arts block in grade 7 besides WWS and in my notes on the website I see that I have simply written "Calligraphy." I remember thinking at the time that Calligraphy would be balancing after Touch Typing in grade 6 (the Business Letters block). Now that this has come up, I really like the idea of combining Calligraphy with the Canturbury Tales and having a whole Middle English moment!

I have the original Middle English version in one of my college textbooks, but I also have this version (recently donated, in fact):
