SUGGESTED PLAN FOR MEDIEVAL DAY STORY
Opening anecdote -- two paragraph description of one episode that sort of summed up the day. One that might be good is the jousting match between Maid Natalia of Medina and Maid Moira of Rodriguez.
The “theme” paragraph that gives the “5Ws and an H”
Explanation, if we have it, of the larger purposes of the event
Summation of the results and reactions
· Results of the competition
· Quotes from students
· Quotes from teachers
(Don’t just “list” the quotes. Try to use each one to tell something new, or make some new point.)
Explanation of where the idea came from (brief)
Summary of the events of the day
· Opening ceremonies .. coats of arms, mascots, dances, etc
· Medieval Fair activities and competitions
· Afternoon events on the soccer field
(In doing the summaries of the activities it isn’t necessary to tell everything about everything. Some events can just be mentioned in passing. You can tell about the parts that seemed particularly interesting.)
