Mrs. Hett's 6th Grade
For this lesson, students learned about the construction of castles in the Middle Ages and why they were made. We looked at different parts of the castle and what they were used for. Students were inspired by these designs, especially the castle tower.
To make their castle towers, students rolled out a large slab of clay, about the width of a pinky. Then, they used a template to cut out a triangular shape and notches on the top. This piece of clay was then rolled around a cardboard paper towel roll. After that, pieces could be added on like a door, window slits, a balcony, and anything else that the students wanted.
