   3. The Seigneurial System

1. Take part in the mural project. THIS PROJECT IS WORTH LEVEL C CHOICES AND LEVEL B FOR UNITS 3 and 4.

   Create a 'mural' (approx. 4'x5') about all of Module 2 in a group of 2-3 students. The mural must include images and/or words that represent the following categories:

   • Culture and Society (transportation, clothing, food, social structure...)
   • Territory (who lived where?)
   • Economy ($$$$)
   • Politics (who was in power?)
   • Sense of Time (dates)

   Planning sketches must be submitted.

   A written report must accompany the mural, the report could be presented orally, in that case I need to see the notes you made to prepare for the oral report. See me for an outline of the report.I will be asking each member of your group to discuss all of the key elements of the mural, you must show a solid understanding of the categories.

2. Choose one day from this period in time and create a small newsletter for this date. You should include at least 4 separate articles. There can be obituaries, current events, sports, travel...
   Please keep the sense of history in mind - there probably would not be concert announcements or seat sales on airplanes...:)
   This could also be presented orally instead of in written form. An appointment must be made with me in order to present the assignment if it is not taped.

3. Write a short play about the seigneurial system. Be sure to include the following elements:
   • the appropriate characters (see p. 18)
   • a realistic conflict or problem (see p. 19)
   • a list of the characters and a description of the setting must also be included with your play.
