2. Knights’ Résumés - Read and review the backgrounds and adventures of various
knights. Using this knowledge, you will have to create professional résumés for the 3 knights
they consider King Arthur's Top Knights. Students will create résumés that are clear and
purposeful, and address the intended audience appropriately and follow the conventional style
for résumés and use page formats, fonts, and spacing that contribute to the documents'
readability and impact. See textbook for example.
3. Painting/Art using symbolism – If you select this you must be an accomplished
artist. Using any medium, no larger that 18” x 18”, you may create an original piece of art
integrating 4 symbols found in the legends we have read. You must also write 1 paragraph about
each symbol. The paragraph will include explanation of the symbol you chose including text
evidence and proper citation.
5. Coat of Arms


Your shield must be made of ½ of a poster board (DO NOT ROLL IT UP).
You should divide your shield into a minimum of 3 sections. See samples below:

Think of qualities or characteristics representative of you to symbolically place in each
section of your shield.
o Use colors, symbols and animals to represent these qualities/characteristics.
Every item on your shield should tell us about you.
Somewhere on your shield you must include your last name.
Since the shield will be displayed in the classroom and possibly on our web site, it should
be as colorful and attractive as you can make it.
Finally, you must include a written explanation of your shield.
o Explain what the colors you have chosen represent and the animals/symbols you
have included. For example, a lion of strength or purple for royalty.

6. Creative Writing – You may use the Arthurian Legend as inspiration for an original
short story. You must have at least 600 words and show extensive knowledge of the legend
through your story. (You may use some of the characters we have studied or even the
situations.) It must be in MLA format. Please print a copy to share with the class and email a
copy to your teacher. Select this only if you are an accomplished writer.
7. Newspaper w/ 4 articles – Make a mock newspaper from Arthurian times.
In your
articles, you should include things that occurred in the stories we read. Be creative and do small
advertisements, classified ads, etc. that would fit in the time period. Make your layout look as
close to a real newspaper as possible. It should be on large paper (ask your teacher for a piece).
