Today in Class

On Friday in class we watched a medieval movie called The First Knight. In the movie after King Arthur rids his kingdom of an enemy one of his trusted knights also wants to rule. The knight rebels against the king and attacks the villages with knights who are loyal to him. The ruling lady of a city in the kingdom wants her city to be safe so she decides to marry the king. On the trip to the palace she is attacked by the rebel knight and is saved by a man called, Lancelot, who is an expert at sword fighting. Lancelot isn’t a rich man and he fights and trains people for money. After saving her they parted ways and she found her escort and continued to the palace. During the wedding party they see each other again and Lancelot competes in a huge obstacle course where the prize for winning is kissing the Lady. Lancelot finishes first and does it without wearing any armour like the others. He is brought up to the lady to get his prize but having already kissed her after he saved her before he merely kisses her hand. After the party the lady and the king go to a meeting of the round table of knights. At the meeting the rebel knight leader shows up threatening the lady and the king. The king would not agree to the knight demands so the knight says thee king will be sorry and he leaves. Later that night the rebels attack the castle and capture the lady.
 
That’s all we watched it seems like a good movie and I want to see more it is interesting and there is lots of fights and dying. We will be watching the rest on Monday along with answering questions on the movie.

Why we did this:

I think we did this to learn more about the Middle Ages for social studies. Like the way they lived, what they ate, how the survived.

Homework:

Genius hour
