After having a strong sense of the meaning of the first lines of the Prologue , students will know that a description of each pilgrim will follow. This section of the work will be covered by the means of the pilgrim presentations. The class will then pick up the last lines of the Prologue together in a similar format. Procedures Read journal topic to students.
