"A day in the life of the Middle Ages"

You now know enough about the work done in the Middle Ages and by which sort of people to be able to write a comment on this blog about "a day in the life" of your character.
You each have a character in our village and all of you have different amounts of work to do, for you or for other people, and different responsibilities.
Write a comment about how you feel about your life, what is going on in it?  Do you like it? Do you think it is  fair?  What would you change?  Do you blame anybody for your life?
Extension:  When you have made your own comment - reply to somebody else's.  Do you agree with them? Why? Do you disagree with them? Why?  What would you say to them if you could?  Get into a discussion with them.   Argue your point of view with evidence and examples - prove to them that you are right and they are wrong.

Good luck!

All should have posted at least one comment by Monday 5 November

Bicester historical homework

You have been asked to produce a project that shows how Bicester has changed over the centuries.
This project can be in any format you like - Power point, written, typed, film, photography.
Use the websites on your instruction sheet to describe and explain how and why Bicester has developed in the way it has.  Possible ideas are:
How has he Market Square changed and why? 
How old are the roads into and out of Bicester? do we still use the old road system?
What is it about  Bicester that makes people move here?  Are these the same reasons it has attracted people throughout the centuries?

Can you find maps, photographs and relevant comments at the local library, on the internet, from family members that show how Bicester has changed.

Do not underestimate the knowledge and expertise of your family - ask them questions - they may have loads to tell you.

This homework is due in Monday 15th October (this is an extension to the original deadline by one week - to give students extra time to complete it effectively).
