During the Middle Ages Unit, students had two "creative" assignments to complete. Those who were willing to type up their assignments for extra credit have their work published here.

The Assignments

  1. Shield Project - Students created an original coat of arms that reflected either themselves or their family. A short write-up describing the characteristics and symbolism of the shield accompanies the image of the shield
  2. Castle Story - This assignment had students consider life in a castle. After discussing daily life and purposes of castles and a video depicting the planning, building, and defending of a castle, students took on the different roles within the castle and told their story.
