Description

Canterbury Tales Writing Activity and Oral Presentation Project

Elevate your classroom's post-reading experience of Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales with this innovative writing activity, perfect for a final assessment before bidding farewell to this iconic piece.


As a cornerstone of British Literature curricula, The Canterbury Tales offers rich material for exploration and reinterpretation. This creative writing assignment empowers students to reimagine Chaucer's tales in a contemporary context, bridging the centuries between the medieval and the modern.


In this creative writing project, students become modern-day bards, tasked with bringing Chaucer's characters and narratives into the 21st century. Using a dice to determine their character, destination, and story type, students embark on a journey of literary invention and adaptation. Ultimately, students will present their modernized tales, competing for the title of best storyteller and other incentives you choose to provide.

Break away from traditional prompts and immerse your students in this creative and interactive writing experience, bringing Chaucer's timeless work into the modern age.
