1) Jessica is given time during class to finish up her Pilgrim in a wrap-up of our Chaucer/the Canterbury Tales Unit.

How does the shift from Catholicism to the Church of England manifest the values of the literature of the period?
3) Read and discuss the Queen's 1560 speech to the Members of Parliament on the the issue of marriage and succession: Why is Queen Elizabeth so vehemently against the idea that the state has control of her body? How is this issue manifested in today's society? How does Queen Elizabeth assert her authority within this work?
