Coat of Arms Project

To conclude with the story of King Arthur you will be creating a poster-size coat of arms based on one of the characters from the story.

Your coat of arms must include the following items:
1. The name of your character
2. Important information about your character (facts such as how they are related to King Arthur, their role/position in the story, where they were from, etc.)
3. An image of the character (you can draw what you think the character looked like or print out an image from the internet)
4. A symbol of the character -- After researching your character pick a symbol that represents them. (for example, a crown could be a symbol for King Arthur)
5. A quality that your character has -- think of the code of chivalry or courtly love, does your character represent any of those qualities?



You will present your coat of arms on Thursday, October 18 (Periods 2,4,6) and Friday, October 19 (Periods 1,3,5)

*Make sure you do the character I gave you.  If you forgot please ask me for their name.
