Build-a-Castle Project Assignment, Planning Page, and Rubric - Medieval History
What educators are saying
Description
Having students build a castle is a great hands-on way to bring history to life! Get students engaged and excited about learning and researching medieval history.
I used this assignment with my class, and it was a hit! Students were very into the project and turned in amazing castle models at the end; they also became castle experts!
Use this resource as-is or as inspiration for your own version of this assignment. The project involves doing research, building and labeling a model castle, and writing a short summary about life in castles, castle defense, and the castle that the student built. This resource includes a detailed assignment page, a student planning page (for students to turn in so you can check in on their progress), and a grading rubric.
