Day in the Life of....

Students have started work related to understanding life in the middle ages.

The major task they are working on currently is to represent a day in the life of a person in the middle ages. You can choose to be a character from the feudal system (a King, Lord, Noble, Knight, peasant, serf, shopkeeper, merchant, woman) or the Church (the Pope, Bishop, Archbishop, Cardinal, Priest, or Nun, Parishioner).

Choices are to represent a day in the life of one of those characters through a a journal entry.

The task must include specific details about:

-            what they did on a regular day/ day to day activities

-           what power they held (show your understanding of the Feudal system)

-           what daily roles and responsibilities (duties) (connect to the Feudal system)

-           what they ate

-           how they dressed

-           relationships with others and offer points of view

(how others in the feudal system see them, treat them , etc.)

-           where they lived

-           their beliefs and values (connect to the elements of worldview)
