Castles
Middle Ages Project
Your job is to build a castle. You may use any material to build your castle, except soft clay. Past experience has shown cardboard and glue work very well. NO SOFT CLAY. Include details, color, and texture on your project. Remember to PLAN ahead so you will have the materials you need.
You may build any type of castle. I would suggest one that is similar to the castle on page 323 in your Text book. To show that you understand the workings of a castle, you must identify 10 elements of a castle correctly (get them from your Castle Dictionary). Your Castle will be graded on attractiveness, the number of labels you were able to complete, and the accuracy of those labels. Please see the rubric below. Questions? Come ask. Good luck and happy building.
