Remember, I don't expect you to work on it; but, if you want to get ahead, feel free.
I hope you enjoyed the presentation on medieval warfare on Friday; we began a video today that we will review the week after Thanksgiving.
It is from a show called "Deadliest Warrior", and the episode can be found HERE. There may be some commercials, but we will watch the entire episode over the next three classes.
If you decide to watch it, don't give away who wins!
As far as your projects go, a few things to think about when going forward on your pieces:
- Be creative; don't hesitate to use "out-of-the-box" thinking to establish a connection between your person and another piece.
- Although it would be great if you found two castles, feel free to use other important buildings if necessary.
- The pictures for the pawns should be "infantry" of the appropriate time period and nationality. Infantry simply means "foot soldier".
- If you can't find a good picture, again, be creative. If you can't find a particular knight, get a good picture of a notable knight from that time period that fits that nationality. Usually, finding a painting of a battle works well.
