Student Tapestries (hopefully more will be coming next week)

How to Make Your Tapestry

How to Blazon Your Tapestry

Here is the movie we watched today.  I got it from the library.

This is a book I found while I was looking for that movie.  I found the parts I've read so far absolutely fascinating and a few students who had a chance to look at it seemed interested in reading more.  It has lots of footnotes and pictures if you want to do more research and I'll bring it next week in case we have time for anyone to look at it some more.  It can also be found at the library

The book we didn't get to today.  It has pictures and explanations of several different kids of castles throughout history. 
You can get it at the CADL.

Next week we'll be learning about religion.

The work of budding stonemasons

Here is the recipe web site I found last term to use a resource for our end of term pot luck.
http://recipes.medievalcookery.com/

Here's one for adventurous cooks.  It just translates the recipes so you still have to figure out the measurements for yourself.

I'll keep looking for more sources.

Welcome to a new term.  This is the movie we watched this week if anyone wants to show it to their families and/or friends.  I got it through CADL or you can watch it online here: http://video.pbs.org/video/1619317222/
