your thesis sentance is very good and i liked the 3 main points you chose to describe how chaucer satirizes the church. nice work!
bri, Your question and thesis are both very good, your thesis answers the question and shows how you plan to write your essay but im not sure if it is argumentative enough, but besides that really good job!
Brianna, you're off to a good start. I think you can get more specific by naming which characters you'll be discussing...Absalon, the Pardoner, etc. Something like: "Chaucer satirizes the corruption in the Church by the hypocrisy of the Pardoner, the lust of Absalon, ...etc."

Brianna, good job. Your question is very good and your thesis is clear and straight to the point. You should definitely find enough quotes for each point. Nice job.
