Description
In this ARTSEDGE lesson, students learn about the legend of King Arthur as depicted in stories, poems, and artwork. Students explore the similarities and differences between King Arthur's persona as depicted in legend and in history, and learn how historic events gradually merged with fantasy to create the story of King Arthur that we know today. Students examine the symbolism of the Round Table, the Holy Grail, and Excalibur, and learn about medieval clothing and regalia. Based on their knowledge and discussion of context, symbolism, and costuming, students then craft an outline for a theatrical performance, to be performed for the class. Less
