Introduction

Wouldn't it be terrific to travel back in time to the Middle Ages and explore a castle and see knights in shining armor and beautiful princesses?  Just think of all the magnificent sights and heroic tournaments you would witness! But what was it really like to live in Medieval Times?

Your Quest

In your quest you will discover the world of the feudal system and explore Medieval castles. You will complete projects along the way to progress from being a mere peasant to attaining the title of Prince or Princess.

Are you ready to learn what is kept in a keep, how a morning star is used, or what (besides water) can be found in a moat?

Be alert as you transform your thinking from a fairytale world to a land of reality.

The Big Question

As you find out about life in the Middle Ages, keep thinking about our 'Big Question':

What occurred in the Middle Ages that had an effect on our modern life today?

At the end of your adventures, you will use the information you have discovered to answer this question with your group.

The Process

During your WebQuest, you will complete four activities that will allow you to progress through the positions of Medieval life--from Peasant, to Monk or Nun, to Merchant, and to Knight or Lady.

If you complete all four tasks successfully, you will be crowned a Royal Prince or Princess of the Kingdom.

If you are ready to begin your adventures, click on the castle to start your quest for the crown.
