Good masters and fair ladies! Here you may begin the adventure that is your Medieval Project. ..

The Medieval Project has two parts - The Independent Research Project for language arts, and the Heraldry Project for social studies. Information about both can be found on this site. Please use this site to keep yourself on track and productive! Click here to see a video similar to the opening informational session from May 26.

Also, this may not be the video from this year - don't worry, other than dates, the information is the same!)

Also please note: If you have Mr. Abrams for social studies, you should disregard the information about the Heraldry Project.
