Feudalism Unit
This Card Game was designed around the idea of using Vocabulary cards in the style of a card game to teach students about the relationship between individuals and the Feudal system.
Hierarchies_the_game
Task: You are to create your own playing cards using the following vocabulary from Chapter 10 in “Across the Centuries.” Each card should have:
1: A name/tittle
2: A brief description about the character/vocab word
3: A cool picture either hand drawn or printed out. The style can be any that you choose, just remember to make it look interesting.
4: Some sort of carrying case to protect your cards in. This can be a cardboard box, a plastic sleeve, or a bag-anything that will protect your cards
5: Each card should show their relation to the other cards in the deck.
Example: A Knight is a servant to a King, but stronger than a peasant.
6: A flow chart of which character are defeated by which cards (we will be working on this in class, you will just have to submit a final good copy)
How to play: The goal of “Hierarchies” is to play cards that outplay your opponent’s cards. It plays similar to Rock paper scissors and war, with certain cards defeating other cards each round. Each player selects one card to play from his or her hand, and the player with the stronger card wins the round. When a player wins a round they can choose which card remains in play from their hand allowing for a faster victory the next round. However, if another player plays a card that can defeat the strongest card, they win and can choose 1 card to keep in play from their hand.
Example: If one player has the Chivalry Card, then their opponents Knights cannot be used.
Another part of the Feudalism unit was teaching the students how to take notes. So a part of note taking skills was the students were allowed to choose from different topics and create a presentation with notes for their fellow classmates. Here are some examples of the Power Points and Posters they created.

Poetry
For a Poetry Unit after a couple of quizzes the students were tasked with creating a poetry book of their own using different styles of poetry and creative language. The students were marked on their ability to attempt the various poems and how they presented it in their final project. Many students chose to handcraft their projects, others created a digital representation of their knowledge and was one of their favorite projects.

Social Studies 11-The Cold War
Often students see studying History as only politics and war. This assignment was created to show the relation of concepts such as consumerism, cold-war fear, and nationalism on “popular” objects that have changed since the beginning of the Cold War.
