Week of 11/13 - 11/17

This week in Social Studies, we are starting our medieval castle design project!  This is one of my favorite times of the year!  We will start with learning some background information on the different types and parts of castles.  Here is a link to the video we will be watching on Monday:

Names and Terms of a Medieval Castle's Parts

Next, students will be put into small groups in which they will work together and collaborate to design and build paper castles out of limited supplies.  This week, we will be starting with a practice build, and next week students will have the opportunity to start over completely and build their final castle.

Here is a breakdown of the week:

• Monday: 
• Video (link above) and Notes
• Tuesday: 
• Castle Background Presentation (by Ms. Superneau) & Notes
• Castle Design Blueprint (HOMEWORK DUE TOMORROW)
