I do NOT think that it was the sellers fault but I could not get the clues to print clearly. Unfortunately then I could not use this activity. However I would have like to have very much. I tried to contact help but got no response.

I'm glad this quiz was useful. You may like to try my quizzes on some of the individual tales, such as "The Pardoner's Tale." I also have a chart of Canterbury Tales characters that works well for review. Happy travels through Canterbury.

I was really looking for a multiple choice or True/false quiz but I can use these as great discussion questions or review questions.

Shirley Spalding (TpT Seller)
I am glad you can use this quiz. I will work on a true/false or multiple choice quiz in addition. You made me realize that I'm overlooking an important tool for teachers. Thank you for the feedback. Sometimes, I like short answer quizzes to force students to think about their answers and to make cheating more difficult. Your use of them for discussion or review is a great idea.

Shirley Spalding (TpT Seller)
Thanks for the positive feedback. I'm glad you were able to use some of my ideas.

One year I taught alternative school for students who had been expelled from public school.
