Crime and Punishment article
You are a reporter for Modern Medievalist Magazine. You
have been asked by your editor to write an article about
Crime and Punishment in Medieval times.
You will need to write about the following points in order to write a great article:
 What kind of crimes a person could be punished for;
 How a crime would be tried;
 What punishment a person could expect;
 Whether or not everyone in society would be punished the same way; and
 Choose one form of punishment and describe it in detail. A picture or
diagram would make your article eye-catching;
Make sure you carefully plan your work before beginning. Think about what makes a
good article. It should have a title, the name of the author, separate paragraphs, etc.
You will have to do some research, so please include a bibliography.
Please note that plagiarism will not be tolerated. You will have to redo your work at
the same time as you are completing your next assignment, as well as juggling other
subjects. Think: IS PLAGIARISING REALLY WORTH IT?
The answer is NO.
Attach this sheet to your finished work.
