    Emily, Austin, Bobby, and Caitlin have been tasked with casting actors for roles in an adaptation of The Canterbury Tales. They are to select actors who match the descriptions of each pilgrim from the General Prologue and provide textual evidence supporting their choices. The students chose actors such as Patrick Dempsey as the Knight, Rupert Grint as the Squire, and Hugh Laurie as the Doctor. They created a casting sheet matching each pilgrim to a proposed actor and head shot along with evidence from the text.

    Chaucer Casting Call

    Emily, Austin, Bobby, Caitlin


    Everyone wants to be Steven Spielberg, but do you
    think you’re up to the task? Geoffrey Chaucer has
    optioned his work, The Canterbury Tales for
    production. This means that there will be a casting call
    for actors who might fit the roles. The most important roles are those of the
    pilgrims, so they have to be cast exactly. Using textual evidence, YOU will scour
    Hollywood for the perfect actors to fit each pilgrim mentioned in the General
    Prologue. I want you to come up with the best actors for the job and submit their
    “head shots” along with a little evidence that they can play the role in which they
    will be cast. You may use this handy “casting sheet” to submit your final report.
