3. Medieval Journal Assignment
This project will challenge you to use your research skills, imagination, and
creativity as you pretend you are a person from the Middle Ages.
Create a medieval person. You will develop this person's personality, his
name, and identity. You will decide on his occupation (knight, priest, serf
etc...) You will describe his daily life, including the ups and downs. You must
create a family for yourself as well. You may make a Coat of Arms or Family
Crest. You must provide background information that is based in historical
truth. You need to discuss where you live and the time period. Certainly you
will need to include any hardships you had to endure. You may use a real king
or queen from the time period.
This project is to be written in the first person. In other words, you must
become the character you are writing about. You must write this in the form of
a journal or diary. You must have ten entries. Each entry must be dated, either
daily, once a week, or one a month. Each entry must be at least 1 page typed
with proper citations.
