||  UNIT  ||   RESOURCES  ||   TASK  ||

The unit is a language arts and social studies based unit on the life in medieval times.  While students learn about the history and cultures of this period, they can recognize sources of language, technology, literature, and traditions in our lives today that originated in the Middle Ages.  Students evaluate the feudal system and compare it to government today.  Students also read about characters from classic literature, including Robin Hood, King Arthur, and Beowulf.  The unit gives students the opportunity to explore a topic in depth and use critical reading skills and research skills as they conduct independent research.

Hear ye, hear ye!  Lords, Ladies, Vassals, Knights, serfs, and peasants........ You are here by invited to the Royal feast in the wonderful Kingdom of Ford.  Bring all your best for the guests of this special event. Students will become a royal subject or a subject of the manor for this event.  Students will research a medieval feast and will put their research into action!  Refer to thy royal Medieval checklist and rubric for the finer details. Fare thee well - the Royal Webmaster
