Middle Ages
Written by Lisa FreidenfeldsIn social studies, we are learning all about the middle ages and Medieval Times! Students picked a topic, such as knights, castles, peasants and serfs, or children of the Middle Ages, and created a GoogleDoc presentations using the Chromebooks. Students then got to share their presentation with their class and teach them what they learned!
As we continue learning about the Middle Ages, students will now create their own personal Coat of Arms. Students will have to use a common medieval division and traditional heraldry, but will be able to create unique and colorful charges that represented their personality, hobbies and/or culture. The completed shields will be on display at LJHS near the 6th grade social studies classrooms (211 & 212) next week.
Personal Coat of Arms
Written by Mrs. Tregoning
While learning about the Middle Ages, students created their own personal Coat of Arms. Students had to use a common medieval division, traditional heraldry, but were able to create unique and colorful charges that represented their personality, hobbies and/or culture. Today, students completed a self-assessment of their project, went on a walking tour and shared their shields with their peers. While on the walking tour, students compelted a "Walking Tour Write-up" & provided project feedback. The completed shields will be on display at LJHS near the 6th grade social studies classrooms (211 & 212) next week.
