Medieval Times

Feasting, (sword) fighting, and fun!

On Friday, History teacher Bajia took Global 1 Students to Medieval Times, a dinner theater reenactment of traditional tournament games including jousting and sword-fighting for students to authentically discover aspects of medieval life. Students were engaged with story lines specifically crafted to interweave historical elements of medieval life such as the code of chivalry and the various social structures that defined the period.

The trip supplemented the students' study of Europe during the Middle Ages. According to Bajia, "the goal of this experience was to challenge students to think critically and use their creativity and knowledge of the era to draw conclusions about this unique time period, and make connections to the present. Students were very animated and engaged throughout this experience, cheering on their knight with passion and enthusiasm."
