Description
This lesson plan focuses on Chaucer's CT. While initially requiring that students become familiar with Chaucer's rhetorical strategies, it also asks students to use these strategies to compose a "multimodal satire" of their own--one that focuses on high school culture and is created through various kinds of audio and video software. Although originally intended for high school students, the lesson plan can be adapted to other contexts.
