Medieval Lesson Plans

TechnoKnight Icon Students embark on a quest. They complete challenges such as forging a shield, solving riddles, and an Internet search, to locate the creature that can save the land.

Part 1 Forge a Helmet and Shield

Students are lowly serfs who want to become knights. They are called upon to free a mystic creature that gives the kingdom its health and prosperity. To prepare for the task they use a provided Microsoft Word template to forge a medieval helmet and shield.

The shield includes symbols:

  • country of birth
  • personality characteristic
  • hobby or interest
  • free choice

When the task is completed successfully, the student becomes a page.

Part 2 The Forest of Riddles

Students are now prepared for their quest. They journey into the Forest of Riddles where they encounter the Master of Mystery. He promises to help the students on their quest if they rid the forest of mischief makers.

Students use Microsoft Access to enter clues into the provided Forest of Riddles database to solve the problem.
