castle project
AP World History students were provided an opportunity to step
back in time, use their imagination, and recreate a medieval castle.

After learning in-class material, students would apply it to the design
of their castle. Many students voiced how much they liked doing the
project.

Students interpreted history by creating castles built out of cake,
sculpted styrofoam, Lego pieces, rocks, cotton balls, marshmallows,
sugar cubes, and cardboard. Many of the castles included not only
the necessary defense strategies common to the time period of the
12th Century, but also such concepts of secret passages used as a
means of escape during a siege, liveries and stables, armories and
ramparts.  

“These kids went the extra mile and did research on castles
common to Medieval England and even built villages inside the
castle walls that could serve as working models for an entire feudal
estate,” said Mr. Ward.
