The Canterbury Tales Introduction Virtual Field Trip

Looking for an engaging way to introduce Chaucer’s influential The Canterbury Tales? Look no further. The Canterbury Tales Virtual Field Trip to the rescue.

If you’re tired of the same old introductory presentations where students sit passively taking notes, then this resource was designed for you.

Students take a three-day virtual field trip ending in Canterbury. Along the way, they will read a biography on Chaucer, watch videos on the Middle Ages and the evolution of the English language, try their hand at translating some Middle English, and explore sites in Canterbury.

Each stop features a text, video, and/or website to interact with. Students use the information gathered to complete their passports.

Your The Canterbury Tales Virtual Field Trip includes:

• Itinerary and links (hosted on Google Sites)
• A digital passport (Google Slides compatible)
• A printable passport

Note: In order to use the digital passport, students will need a Google account. Accounts are not required to access the site. Several YouTube videos are embedded in the site. Please ensure that your district does not block YouTube for students.
