This week in 6th grade, the students will be working their Coat of Arms project. Students learned about how Coats of Arms were used in the Middle Ages as a type of signature and family identifier in an age where few could read. Students learned about the symbolism behind the colors, images, and divisions used in each family crest. Tomorrow, students will begin to create their own Coat of Arms. Every part of their Coat of Arms will have some sort of symbolism. Students will then write a description essay that defends their design, color, and symbol choices. Check back next week to see what they have come up with.
Questions for your 6th grader:
-What colors and symbols are you thinking about choosing for your Coat of Arms?
-What motto will you choose to represent our family?
