Hello! My name is Collin Barnes and I am a student at Trinity
Christian College in Palos Heights, IL. I am an English and History Education
major, and I plan on teaching in a
small public high school after graduation. I hope that this Webquest was beneficial and that your students enjoyed it; I know I
enjoyed making it! My goal with this was to make the junior
and senior students
think outside the box by trying to relate to the lives and
situations of the people in the Middle Ages. To accomplish
this project, students will need a basic understanding of the Middle
Ages, as well as supplies to create their final project (i.e.- small
sheet of plywood/cardboard, paper mache, construction paper,
etc...). Internet availability is also required for gaining
the necessary information in each group. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, feel free to e-mail me at collin.barnes@trnty.edu. Thank you and enjoy!
