GUIDED PRACTICE:  

Feudalism Simulation: introduces students to the basic elements of feudalism. Students assume the role of a monarch, a lord, a knight, or a serf. They go through processes where they divide land, establish loyalties, and negotiate land for goods and services. In doing so, students will understand the needs and responsibilities of people living in the Middle Ages
