Your Coat of Arms

We are going to make a shield with a coat of Arms.

For your coat of arms, make it about yourself. You may wish to incorporate the meaning behind your name from an earlier lesson onto the coat of arms. You may also wish to include the knighted name you picked for yourself, and the oath you took.

Pick a template from the pick up box. Put things on it that represent the best about you. Most coats of arms have Latin on them, Canada's coat of arms has "desiderantes meliorem partial" and  "a mari usque ad mare" Put some latin on your Coat of Arms. Here is a link to translate English into Latin. Here is a list of some famous latin mottos that you may wish to adapt.

Look at the meaning below of various colours and symbols. Like stain glass windows, most people, who couldn't read, would be looking at the shield and gathering meaning through the colours and symbols.

Post your shield, as a jpg, onto kidblog along with a paragraph explaining why you chose the colours, saying and symbols that you did.
Have the teacher print out your shield in colour and then paste it onto some cardboard fastened with some string to hang from your neck for our Medieval Feast.
