Good Evening my wonderful little class!
Today's blog assignment is pretty easy...but, if you put a little effort into it, it can actually be pretty entertaining :)
I want you to do a little research on the Crusades..and what life would have been like for someone alive during that time..you can take the point of view of the Pope, the King (maybe Richard the Lion-hearted), a knight, a vassal, a peasant, a Muslim military leader (maybe Saladin), a Muslim soldier, etc...
Then, you are to create a postcard from the point of view of the person you chose...you are to write to a loved one, describing what your life is like, what daily struggles you have to face, what battles you have to survive, etc...for example, you can be a knight writing to your lady about what life is like on the battle field, or you can be a peasant describing the struggles you face with your country at war...the possibilities are endless!
I would also like for you to create a picture of your character (using any program you have available to you!) If you are not able to submit the picture on the blog, just submit your postcard and print your picture to give to me in class!
Good Luck!
