Your Quest
You are about to begin a quest to complete
various tasks from the Medieval Times. Along
with the way you will learn about various aspects
of medieval life. With each task completed, you
will be awarded points based on your performance
and have the opportunity to climb the feudal
pyramid.
100-93 King/Queen 92-85 Clergy
84-77 Noble
76-70 Knight
69 or Under Serf Each
task has a maximum number of points that can be
awarded. Remember, just because you complete the
task does not mean you will get the maximum
number of points. Quality of your work is very
important when climbing the feudal pyramid. You
choose which tasks you want to complete. You do
not have to complete all the tasks. The more
tasks completed, the better the opportunity to
reach a higher status. You are responsible for
completing your tasks on time. Some time will be
allowed during class to work on your quest, but
the majority of your quest will need to be
completed at home. Your quest must be completed
by September 25 Remember, you are responsible for
your status in the feudal pyramid!
