MEDIEVAL TOWN JOURNALING
Thursdays
Period 2 @ 10:30am
TAUGHT BY: Ani Janbazian, Vendor: We Spark Learning
TARGET: Grades 3rd-5th

MATERIALS: Upon registration, you will be provided with a simple materials list of some basic school supplies that will be needed for class.
Students become "neighbors" in a crazy Medieval Town they help create, where they will experience many events through the year including festivals, natural disasters, historic events, unbelievable mishaps and some silly celebrations! As each town event effects the residents, it will serve as the journal prompt for a creative writing assignment for the week.
"Swarms of bees overtook the town, and I..."
"The highlight of the festival was one daring performer who..."
"The wagon unhitched sending us barreling into the..."
Town residents will start by deciding what to name their town and decorating their own home and property. Each student will choose a historic job that will produce weekly earnings. They can use their income to save and upgrade their home, or buy or barter for additions to the property from the marketplace. Each student will get a chance to be crowned "Royal of the Day" , and Town residents will talk about and compare stories about the events of the week. Some drawing, crafts, prize games, and other creative expressions will also be incorporated throughout the year to fit our Medieval theme.
While the class will have some mini lessons on writing techniques, literary devices, figurative language, and poetry, our focus is not on the formal fundamentals of writing. The main goal of this class is to motivate kids to put pen to paper to write with enthusiasm and express their ideas in written form. Journal writing is done during class time, and journal expectations can be varied to adapt to different learning levels and abilities.

Step by step, using examples from real nations, other micronations, and fictional lands, students will establish a government, create a language and distinctive clothing, initiate unique holidays, print a currency, write a constitution, and so much more.
Dynamic discussions and hands-on activities will explore:
Government
Political Systems
Language
National Symbols
History
Geology & Resources
Physical Geography
Economy
Currency
Citizenship
Infrastructure:
Transportation & Communication
Cultural Identity:
Food, Art, Music, Clothing, Pastimes, Holidays
