Glogs, Standard Checks, and More!

Let us not waste our computer lab time today. Let's be focused and work hard. There are a lot of distractions in your life right now: Wax Museum, spring time coming, Spring Fling which brings nervousness in trying to get a date to the dance, and of course the Medieval Times. Despite the many distractions, we must concentrate and do our best. We have passed the midway point in the Medieval Times unit. Today, we will take a moment to slow down and see what information we have learned so far. Below, you will find your tasks. Do them in the order listed.





2. Standard Check: Take the Standard Check by clicking on the Classmarker.com page at the top of WSG.
3. Glog Follow-Up: Browse through each class periods Glogs. Look at them. Read them. Respond to them. We made these glogs at the beginning of the unit, at a time when a lot of this stuff was new to us. Now, we have learned many things about the Medieval Times, so perhaps you have something to add to some of the topics you see on our Glogs. Your glog follow up activity is this: Look through the glogs and select 3 Glogs to respond to. For each Glog you choose, add information related to the topics on the glog. Try to write at least one thing about each of the topics on the glog. If you get done with all three glog follow-ups, then do more. You will add this in the form of a comment box for this post.

  3. Black Death: Thanks for the great info i learned that it was spread by rats. It came in from China on ships and i will add, it killed almost all of the people living there.

    Knights: Had very hard training. They started training at the age of 7 and they become full knights at the age of 21. And i will ad that they had to ride on horse back and try to knock thier opponent off.

    King: The king was the most important person in the Middle Ages. In fact, he was the highest person. I will add that the king was married to the queen and if they had a son he would be the prince and if its a girl its a princess

  4. Wow.... I read period three's and it is really good. I think all the class periods did a great job. I think all the classes worked really hard on the projects. I would have to say Alyssa pd9 and Carly Rahn Pd4 were the BEST!!!!!!!! GREAT JOB TO ALL THE PEOPLE THAT GOT IT DONE!!!!!!! From pd9 they talked about married women and I would like to add that when women get married they lose their rights. SO girls I would stay unmarried so I can have RIGHTS.

    ReplyDelete

  45. I really like the 8th pd second up from the bottom. It had good information and a cool background.

    Pd. 3 top blog, it had a cool picture and good information on Medieval Times!

    I like 9th pds third from bottom. It had a really cool style and good information in the paint splatters!

    Also the top one in pd 9 had an impressive amount of information and it looks like it had alot of effort put into it!

    ReplyDelete
  46. The 1st one for 8th peroid.
    For the black death limbs,fingers,and spots on the body turn black. I think that was good to put under the black death.

    With one in 9th peroid has The Samurai. During the time of knights in the western Europe, skilled fighters called samuri were waged war in Japan. I think that was a good thing to put under the Samurai and they had great details.


    Now the least and final one in 4th Period.
    The Vikings attacked from scandinavia after the kingdom fll apart. I like the picture of the Vikings. I thought it was good that they say why they attacked scandinavia.

  49. An 8th period glog talked about how squires couldnt become knights untill age 21. In Jousting you tried to nock off the other opponent. Chess was invented in the Medieval Times. Moats protect villages.

    Another 8th period Glog said that during the black death they buried bodies by the hundreds, and preporations for medicine were stored in sheep horns


    Yet another 8th period Glog says that the rack stretched out the human body, Monarchs were the most important, and a castle is where the king lives.

  57. The Black Death was called the boubonic pleague it got the name Black Death because the source on the body's were black.

    ReplyDelete
  58. The first one in period 9 was very interisting! I didn't know that where ever the buider was from, the method of the castle would be like that.

    I thought the Samurai was in Asia?

    I would not like to have an arranged marrage.

    ReplyDelete
  59. I Learned that a dungeun was for there prisoners to be tortured.

    I Also Learned that the Widsor Was the oldest castle

    I Next learned about the black death how rats would carrie bacteria and fleas would suck their blood and then the fleas would bite humans.

    A Knight Would ride on a horseback

    This was a fun project!

    ReplyDelete
  60. Pd.3-If you or one of your family members had the black death they would put a red cross on the house and no one could come in or out of the house.

    ReplyDelete
  61. I chose a Glog that was in the Period 3 link. There was a lot of good ones in there. I chose the third one down(yes you have to scrull down to see it.) It talks about a lot of different things I like how they talked about the history of the Bubonic Plague also known as the "Black Death."

    ReplyDelete
  62. ELLO! ok on most of the glogs i looked at alot of them and they said princess have arranged marriages.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Someone in Period 3 said that knights fought on horseback, they also had a code which was Chivalry.
    In Period 4 someone said that the castle protects everyone inside of it, it also was a dungeon in the basement.
    Someone in Period 6 said that the Black Death was spread by rats, it also was spread by fleas because they drank the rats blood.
    In Period 8 someone said that Islam believers were Muslims they also believed in Muhammad.
    Someone in Period 9 said that the princesses marriage was chosen for them, they also not just princesses, all women lost all their rights when they got married.

    ReplyDelete
  64. A glog in period 8 talked about the black death, it came from rats who had it in their blood and fleas bit the rats and the fleas bit humans to get it.
    A glog in Period 6 talked about the castles, the castles actually had dungeons in them where torture happened.
    A glog in perios 6 talked about religion, Islam was also a major religion.

    ReplyDelete
  65. A glog in period 6 said that the black death was spread by rats. They said that knights protect the king and queen. Castles were where kings and queens lived. The Monarchs are the rulers. Deadly weapons were used in battle.
    A glog in period 8 said that castles were invented during the Medieval times. Jousting was a big sport.
    Medieval Times were cruel. Moats protected villages or castles. Being put in a dungeon was very bad.
    A glog in period 4 said the plague wiped out many villages. Castles were also used as fortresses to protect everyone inside. The crusades were initiated by the christians. Chivalry is an honor code that knights followed. The windsor is the oldest and biggest castle ever.

    ReplyDelete
  66. I thought that in period 6 the fourth one had a lot of great information on all of there topics they also had really good pictures.

    I thought that in period 9 the seventh one had good information but i liked the one that they talked about the black death they said-The black death was one of the worst natural disasters in history. The black death was a disease spread by fleas that were carried by rats.

    I thought that in period 4 the nineth one has good information good pictures. And I learned that a new form of warfare and weapons were introduced to England. And great song chiose I like it.

    ReplyDelete
  67. a few glogs in period 4 said queens overpowered king, not true kings had power until the magna karta. When that came into play the senete got power back. Great detail though. Good Job everbody

    ReplyDelete
  68. I liked all the glogs!! :)
    The black death was when rats carried fleas that had a disease and when the flea gets on a human it turns there fingers and feet back.

    Knights were highy skilled people that would fight in war.

    Women didnt have there own rights after they got married and there father or husband would make her disissions!! :/

    ReplyDelete
  69. a couple glogs in 4th period said that queens were more honored than kings sometimes. But i would have to disagree with that. Kings were always more highly honored,this was only true though until the magna carta which told that kings couldnt have complete power.

    knights also followed the chalvory
