Part A: Create your own persona
=== This lesson you are to swap your researched person with another person from the feudal system which one of your team members have researched. You need to try use their research to write an empathy piece of 1 page which includes the following information: ===
 * === Your name, age, gender, religion and region you were born in ===
 * === A brief family history. For example, how many siblings do you have? Where do you live? Has your town been invaded? ===
 * === A typical day in the life of your character. Include chores, roles and responsibilities. ===
 * === Your role in society. Do you participate in any social events ? ===
 * === Do you have any aspirations or goals? ===
 * === What does your future look like? ===

This is to be done during this lesson and needs to be emailed to the teacher for marking by the conclusion of the day.
Part B: Role play With the information from the empathy task, the members of your group will work together to make a role play based on the roles of different people and how they interacted in medieval society. Collaborate together to come up with props or costumes you may like to use. Keep in mind that you should portary the event as close to what it should have been in the Medieval age.
 * Use your creative spark! **

Things to consider: - What sort of a king will you be. You can choose an existing king and kingdom or make one up. - Will your play be set in the middle of a battle, after a victory or preparing for battle? - As a king, what do you want your kingdom to achieve? How will you achieve this? Who will help you create a strong, rich and powerful kingdom? - How will you treat the knights and peasants? - As a knight, how will you treat the king and the peasants? Are you mean or timid? - Peasants, how will you treat those in a higher rank? With envy, hatred, compassion?

Rehearse your role plays. Make sure you remember your lines and use your props and costumes accordingly.
These will be presented next lesson as a way to cover the social structure in medieval times.
