Top ten tips for time-travelling teenagers

There are four parts to this investigation.

Create a coat-of-arms for your group
Your group splits into Experts who research ONE topic each creating expert posters.
Groups tour the posters, with Experts teaching the rest of the group
Create a guide book warning time-travellers of differences between the Middle Ages and today

Each expert group has a different topic:

health and medicine
knights and castles
beliefs and religion
trades and technology.

You have two periods to gather all the information you need onto your poster - one period using the web and one period using the books. Use your time well. Good luck!
