Welcome Lords and Ladies!
This website will serve as our resource share page where I will place important links, handouts, and job aids to help you complete your Medieval Identity activities and assignments.
Objectives
By the end of this lesson students will understand...
- What Medieval life was like by reading diaries and records of the period.
- Social standings and the benefits privileged individuals enjoyed like education, reading, and writing.
- Everyone is responsible to research how and why a coat of arms was used. Google search will be used to explore the Internet resources available to you. Use Google to find answers to these questions:
a) What
is a coat of arms?
b) What
did a coat of arms mean?
c) Did
everyone have one? Why or why not?
- Based
on what you learn from your investigation, create your personal coat of
arms. Each coat of arms will be different and represent the things that
are most important to the designer.
- On Friday, everyone will present his or her coat of arms to the class and explain what it means and why they chose the different design elements (like colors, shapes, graphics, etc.). This activity will be part of you Medieval Times presentation; please include your coat of arms as part of your PowerPoint presentation.
Remember, there are three parts to this assignment. The entire project is due by the end of the week.
