Don't rise above your station....at least, not in medieval times.

Today, the nobility from the other Fiefs and Domaines met to collect information about their neighbours. Meanwhile, the peasants and serfs met to discuss their lives and the lords that rule over them. The discussions were very different.

We will review the activity tomorrow. Questions that we will explore are: 

What is the cost of war versus diplomacy?

What maintains the feudal order? What threatens that order?

Some of you will need to collect information to fill your grid. We will discuss how to approach this task; it will involve you interacting with members of the other grade 8 classes, a good activity before transitioning to high school.

Life was good for ...nobles.
