The Task

In groups of 4-6 students will prepare for an intellectual Medieval tournament where teams will compete to develop the best response to specific scenarios and diasters. This Webquest has two distinct phases

  1. Research - Teams will select roles and begin to research their role using the provided links.

  2. Tournament - On the day of the tournament students will use their collective knowledge on life in the Middle Ages to respond to a series of scenarios and disasters that draw from all of the roles. For each round, the King/Queen (teacher) will read the situation to the class. Each team will have five minutes to develop a detailed, fact-based response. After the answers are read to the class, the King/Queen will judge the responses based upon historical accuracy and creativity on scale of one to ten. The team with the most points at the end of five rounds will be declared the winner.
