THE ROYAL FEAST
You are cordially invited to attend the royal feast at
the castle celebrating the end of winter and the return of
spring! You will choose a role to play at the feast (e.g.
royalty, noble, peasants). Investigate and research your
role carefully because you will be presenting yourself and
your background at the feast before the rest of the guests
and, most importantly, the King/Queen. You will present
one item that relates to your role to the King/Queen as a
token of your appreciation for the feast. It can be a song, a
craft, an article of clothing, or a food item. Also be sure to
tell the King or Queen how you influence and contribute to
their Medieval society. Use the information we gathered in
class along with any other evidence from books or the
Internet.
OR
Time Travelling Archaeologist
As a Time-Travelling Archaeologist, your task is to
visit the Medieval Era, in a specific role, and return with 3
authentic artifacts. Until then, you will learn all you can
about the Medieval time period so that you will know what
to look for on your travels. On March 31, 2010, Lord and
Lady Junickson will arrive to inspect the artifacts. You will
be asked to present your artifacts for their approval,
detailing what they are and why they are important to the
Medieval society. A written report will also be submitted
for their records.
