Middle Ages

Chrissanne, Calvin and Luke present research on Middle Ages.


Feedback; this was inadequately researched.


Please Note:
The research you are presenting is to benefit the entire class, you are researching for each other. This will come into full effect when you design your time lines, drawing on the information posted on each others blogs. If a group has researched inadequately, hasn't supplied enough information, images etc., the rest of the class will need to do more research in order to fulfil the time-line brief.


Please post your research onto your blogs as soon as you have done your presentation so that others can get on with their time-lines.


Please remember your first hand in of the Time-line is on 6 May

Feedback

  • One of the aims of the research teams is that you have an opportunity to work as a team and pool your resources. This didn't happen today, work on integration, cross referencing and cohesion.
  • Use the research template (on the twohistory out-line page). Follow the prompts the the bracketed words, who? when? how? what? where? why? The gist of the lesson is really to convey WHY humans were doing what they were doing then!
  • Convey a thorough understanding of political forces, it gives the why.
  • In the jewellery section, go into deeper discussion on techniques, materials and symbolism. Also where were materials coming from.
  • Through colonising/conquering other cultures, discuss how cultures were influenced and disseminated.
  • Marking has become very generous and rather inaccurate!
