Year 7A & Year 7B.
Monday 15 June 2020
Today we will continue with the film that tells the story of the peasant called William Thatcher who pretends to be a knight called Sir Ulrich von Liechtenstein. However, before you start with the fourth and last “episode” of the film, there are a few tasks that you need to do in preparation.
Follow the order in which I give you instructions:
1.
You are going to read this article again… Remember, we learn through repetition! Read this carefully as you will be tested further on some of the information that this article gives about knights.
2.
Complete the Quiz about “Knights keeping fit” in Schoology – it is “timed” and will take you no more than 10 minutes…! Please note that you have to do this NOW during lesson time! This MUST be completed NOW before you watch the rest of the film! (You only get one attempt at this and if you have not submitted the answers before the end of this lesson, you will receive zero for this task, as this quiz will expire.)
3.
Now read the following text which gives you a bit of an overview of the events in the fourth and final “episode” of the film:
In the previous “episode” William took part in a number of tournaments and achieved several victories. Eventually he returned to Cheapside, London to visit his father, but his true identity is then discovered by Adhemar…
Now, in this last “episode” William is placed in the pillory, but is defended from the hostile crowd by his friends. Then, the Black Prince emerges from the crowd… In acknowledgement of William’s honour, Edward (or the Black Prince) announces that, William is in fact, “beyond contestation” descended from a noble lineage, and knights him “Sir William”. Then William returns to the tournament to face Adhemar in the final match, but Adhemar cheats with an illegal sharpened lance… Let’s see what happens….
4.
Again, there are words that you may need to look up quickly so that you may fully understand their meanings: pillory, contestation, lineage, lance and “to knight“.
5.
Now, watch “Episode 4” by accessing it in Schoology Materials. (This final “episode” is 26:48 minutes long.)
If, for some reason, it does not work, click on the square (at the top right) in the schoology page for “Episode 4” – then the video should work. It looks like this:
6.
Send me a private message on Schoology (use the same mail-thread that we have been using previously!) to confirm that you have completed the tasks as instructed today.
