Todays double block was composed of the class watching a movie titled "First Knight" , This movie is based off of the legends of King Arthur and his round table. Notable characters in this movie were....
King Arthur, Lady Guinevere , Lancelot , Prince Malagant , The citizens of Lioness and Camelot, and The Knights of the Round table.
Why did we do this?
The purpose of this activity was to make connections to our Novel study ( TWBW )
and to get a larger insight to what life was like in the Middle ages.
Homework Reminders/Tips:
While watching the Movie we were supposed to answer the following questions:
1.What tips does Lancelot give Mark about winning sword fights? Why does Lancelot engage in sword fights?
2.What is the purpose of a gauntlet? What does the winner do and Why? Explain.
3.What is an oubliette ? Explain how its purpose relates to its name.
4.When does Lancelot finally decide to join the Knights of the Round table? Why does he?
5. Malagant attacks Lyonnais. What is King Arthur's strategy to get it back? Is he successful?
6. Why are Sir Lancelot and Queen Guinevere put on trial publicly? Give at least one argument for doing so and one against doing so.
*Note: I didn't include questions 7,8 because we have not finished watching the movie.
TIPS:
- Oublie is to forget in French.
- Answer questions in point form
- Lyonnais= Lady Guinevere
- Camelot= King Arthur, Queen Guinevere
- When answering question #6 Try to think about personal reasons for the King to do so rather than laws and technicalities.
