The Crusades
I do say, young knight, come and join the crusade!
If you decide to take this quest, you will be transported the year 1095AD in the southern part of France. Pope Urban II is just about to give his famous speech at Clermont denouncing Islam and calling for a crusade to rid the earth of the Infidel. Join the Crusade! Accept the quest and fight for God and Country.
Your group's task is to research today in the library so you can create a storyboard for a commercial recruiting knights for the Crusades in class tomorrow.
When you have completed the worksheet for your role please come back as a group and discuss your findings. The final project for this quest is a storyboard for a 30 second to 45 second recruitment commercial for a Christian Knight. The group will use the knowledge gained by each member to write and produce this commercial.
EXTRA CREDIT OPPORTUNITY:
If you would like to earn up to 10 points of extra credit, you and your group can actually create the commercial! If you need assistance with technology, Ms. Nelson can help; however, this would require you and your group to come in on your own time to create the commercial.
