In this challenge students will research the history and creation of medieval castles.
They should know the names for the different castle parts and purpose for each. Be prepared to take a quiz on this subject.
Once the research is finished the student is to design and create a castle (no larger than a card table, please) out of sturdy material.
They can add the castle to a diorama with grass, trees, a moat, or even miniature medieval figurines from Michael's or Hobby Lobby.
We will judge all entries in a competition when we get back the first week in January when they are due.
Many of the past winners had a themed castle like the dark stones and lava moat of the black knight or the castle castle of the fairy by the sea.
