Activity:
For this activity, students were asked to create a personal coat of arms. They were to use symbols and colors to make it representative of themselves. They could use suggested symbols and colors or make up their own, as long as they could explain why they used what they did.
Extension Activity:
As an extension to this activity, we would study the middle ages in social studies, specifically western civilizations.We would then also dissect existing coats of arms to discern what the symbols on them mean. Who did this coat of arms belong to? Why do you think so? What was their social position? Who were they connected to? What things were important to this person and their family?
