Proyect:
Gothic Cathedrals
Objectives:
...to
learn the architectural elements of a Gothic cathedral
...to
learn that there was a variety in the decoration of Gothic cathedrals
...to
learn through their own manual work
...to
work in groups
...to
learn more about Middle Ages’ society
Groups:
Students are divided on groups of
four. Each group is a different guild. For example, they can choose between:
weavers, dyers, armorers, bookbinders, painters, bakers...
Guilds played a really important
role in society of the Middle Ages.
Activity:
The
teacher and the students choose a series of Gothic cathedrals from all over
Europe.
Procedure:
Each
group of students (4 students per group) chooses one of them.
They
have to design on a black cardboard the window of the cathedral that they have
to represent.
They
cut their design and paste colored film paper on the back.
They
stick on the windows of the class, and, when the light enters, it has the
effect of real Gothic cathedrals and their designs reflect on the ground.
This
project helps to...:
-
...explain the gothic cathedrals
-
...bring History to the class
-
...motivate students by doing different activities
-
...decorate our class!
Finally,
the students have to write an entry about their experience on the class blog.
