May 8 & 9 - Protecting the Manor

Over the last two days students focused on understanding the purpose of Feudalism.  Students learned about the knights and their weapons/armor.  Students discussed and took notes on the Magna Carta, one of the most important documents in the history of the world.  The document gave rights to the nobles and limited the kings power.  Lastly, students worked on their study guides to understand the relationship between kings, lords, knights and serfs during the Middle Ages. Students will be quizzed over their understanding of the Feudal system.
