"It's called a lance, hello" (Name the movie)

Today was the end of our Medieval Times unit in Social Studies. To celebrate we had a banquet of chips, cookies, and soda and then a tournament. Our classes were separated by rank or class determined by how much of an at home assignment they completed (most of my class were still serfs with only a few kings and queens), we ate according to rank/class and the serfs got whatever was left behind by the previous students which was still a good amount. After our feast, we went outside for our mini-tournament. Only those with the status of a knight or above were allowed to participate in the games, the others were just spectators. We jousted using rolling chairs and pool noodles, I almost beat Mr. Andersen. We also had sword fights with plastic, dollar store swords. It was a lot of fun and something we will most definitely do each year.

(I have a few fun pictures, but I don't think I can post pictures of my students, at least, I don't feel right doing it-sorry.)
