Hello from a first-time poster. I originally sent this directly to the first requester. Since there's another request, here it is for the group: Laura LaBelle laura.labelle@worldnet.att.net (signature follows attached) ---------------------- Forwarded Message: --------------------- I am a college and public reference librarian & am getting certified to switch to school library media specialist here in CT. I did a project last semester on non-print sources on the Middle Ages. I researched many good websites. Here are some which pertain specifically to Arthurian legends: Britannia http://britannia.com/history Page down to "King Arthur" section. Lots of related content on this huge site, like a virtual "walk" through historic buildings. Sir Clisto Seversword's Tome of Adventure and Knowlege http://www.execpc.com/~clisto/clisto.html A humongeous site created by a dedicated medieval/Renaissance re-enactor. Lots of fun, with phony Medieval style of speech the kids will love. There are lots of sections (50+), so it's easy to get sidetracked. Some are a bit bawdy, but nothing obscene. The section called "King Arthur/Robin Hood/Merlin" looked good, also Knighthood, Chivalry, Holy Grail, etc. BBC Online History http://www.bbc.co.uk/education/history Might not have enough on Arthur, content is solid but limited. Regia Anglorum - Anglo-Saxon, Viking, Norman, and British Living History http://www.regia.org Stunning visuals by a group of "professional amateurs" in Britain - includes virtual tours of life in a manor and a village. The time period focuses in 1000 AD, which is later than King Arthur, but it gives a great look at daily life. The link was down tonight - try later. Early British Kingdoms http://freespace.virgin.net/david.ford2/Early%20British% 20Kingdoms.html You may have to type this in manually, but it's worth it. Scroll down to "Historical King Arthur" for sections on A. as king, warrior, etc. Middle Ages: The Annenberg/CPB Projects Exhibits Collection http://www.learner.org/exhibits/middleages Again, this one focuses on daily life. It's interactive, with little quizzes and sound/music bites. Check out the "related resources" link for more sources. Hope this helps - I would love it if you could let me know if any of these fit your need. My project was only a mock project, as I didn't get a chance to collaborate with any teachers. I'd like to know if the sites really fit into an actual lesson plan.
