WE HAVE A PROJECT???

? Yes! Starting today, you all have an AT HOME project to complete on the Middle Ages

? Before you freak out, you have several options to choose from.

? You get to pick which one best suits YOUR learning needs. ? You also get to be creative and have fun. ? Please pay close attention to the following slides and look

closely at examples from years past.

OPTION 1: CONSTRUCT A MEDIEVAL CASTLE

? During medieval Europe castles were important for people's safety and protection. There were people who ran the castles and people who worked in the castles. Everyone's daily lives depended on everyone else doing their jobs & part.

? -Research what castles looked like, what parts they had, and what the parts were used for.

? -Build a sturdy castle with at least 10 parts labeled. ? -You must also write an explanation (that is at least 3 sentences for each feature) as to why you would have needed EACH of the 10

features you chose for your castle. ? -Your explanation and cited sources must be turned in with your castle. This means tell what websites you used to find information.

? MATERIALS ? -Use cardboard, construction paper, string, paper towel tubes, Styrofoam, wood, etc. to make your castle. DO NOT use food or Legos or any kind of building "kit". ? SIZE ? Base should be no larger than 12"x12"
