Part
1: You must dress up as the character as described in the Prologue of
the poem (note: you should also read very closely the character’s
prologue to their own story for it will give you insight into how the
character acts, thinks, and relates to the other characters). As part
of the presentation you’ll need to discuss what you are wearing and why
(or what it represents)? You will also need to present your character
traits. What your character is like—what do they believe, how do think
of themselves, how do they act towards others or towards God. You may
wish to do some research on your character or your character type
(example you might wish to look at Friars and what Friars where about
and how they where suppose to act and compare those ideas with how your
character acts and believes).
Part 2: You’ll need to present
your tale to the class. You can do it in one of two ways: 1) D.I. or
Dramatic Interpretation of the story (this means you pick the
highlights, write a script based on the highlights and act it out). 2)
Rewrite the story in your own words and language and present it as a
transcript—meaning you read it, but give a dramatic reading
(not just a reading like we do in class)
Part
3: Teach the class the following: 1) what type of literary tale is your
story? 2) What does the tale mean (if anything). Connect the tale to a
THEME? What does the tale reveal about you character and who your
character is? What—if any—kinds of literary devices does your tale use?
Part 4: Make a brief argument why your character won the bet: Who can tell the best story.
