After researching medieval towns, cities and commerce, I created a Lego model to display my findings. This involved me creating a Lego church, farm and several houses which I decorated with thatched roofs made from painted fake grass. I was then able to showcase this to an audience of Year 7 and Gioia House students. It was enjoyable to present my learning to the younger students after spending so much time working on the project and to be able to explain the common features of towns. <\/p>\nAlannah<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n I chose to study crime and punishment, in particular burning at the stake. For this I researched Joan of Arc, a young woman living in Medieval Europe during the 1400s. She believed strongly in God and heard messages from saints to take back France. She led France to victory against the English but soon was captured by the English allies and after a year of being in captivity she was burnt at the stake for witchcraft and heresy. I made a Barbie doll representing Joan of Arc burning at the stake. <\/p>\nSienna<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n I created a board with a map recreating Thomas More’s novel Utopia<\/em>, as well as recreating coins that showcased medieval trade. I loved how everybody worked so hard on their presentations and how they were all so detailed and interesting. <\/p>\nMackenzie<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n I made a digital display on Minecraft of a medieval home that had two structures, one for the family and the other for animals which they would kill and eat or use as clothing\/fur. I loved learning about the things these homes were made of and the materials used. <\/p>\nAria<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n I made a pair of scaled-down longswords out of paper and paddle-pop sticks. The most interesting thing that I learnt was actually the different characteristics of longswords.<\/p>\nHarper<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n I made a 3D model of Bodiam Castle in Sussex, England. I did this using cardboard and hot glue. I was surprised by how creative everyone was and I was glad we could share as everyone could learn from each other.<\/p>\nMia<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n I made a website<\/a> about the evolution and uses of castles. I enjoyed coding with Javascript because it is a very neat language. I also enjoyed researching the different types and uses of castles. My favourite presentations were the Minecraft presentations. I also liked Ally’s shield because it looked really cool. Sierra’s arrow was another of my favourites, since it was majestic and made of actual tree. <\/p>\nEmma<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Alannah Quinn and Sienna Di Santo <\/strong> The Year 8 History Medieval Museum Exhibitions in Weeks 7 and 8 were fun and interesting. Our task was to study a specific topic relating to Medieval Europe: Crime and Punishment, Military and Defence Systems, and Towns, Cities and Commerce. We enjoyed creating museum exhibits and presenting to an audience.
