Knighthood
Go to the app store and download Adobe Voice. Create your username and password. In adobe voice you will explain how to become a night by answering the following:
In the Middle Ages, a young man had to follow a series of steps in order to become a knight. In this activity, you will pursue your own initiation into knighthood as if you lived in the middle ages.
1) The first task is to create a coat of arms. Knights placed a coat of arms upon their shields in order to identify themselves in battle. Using a drawing app (sketches/explain everything, etc) create a coat of arms that accurately fits you. You can draw a shield that has four areas on it. Draw pictures and label things that describe you. Put this picture into adobe voice and describe what a "coat of arms" is to your audience.
2) Next, make a title page with a title that says, "How to become a Knight." Then on the first page of the book insert your coat of arms and describe what a coat of arms is and how you created your own coat of arms.
Below are some websites that describe a coat of arms:
