Castles Lesson Plan

The Lego Club Jr building contest for the Sept/Oct 2010 magazine is to build a castle. I thought I would build off of this to create a lesson plan.

Goals of the lesson plan:

  1. Introduce the Medieval time
  2. Discuss why castles were needed 
  3. Discuss how castles were built 
    1. Materials (how changed over time)
    2. castle within a castle
  4. Discuss why they stopped being effective and aren't used today.
  5. Have them build a castle individually or in groups.
  6. Take pictures and email them to parents that are interested in submitting them for the contest.

Material:
  1. Books related to castles and how they were built
  2. legos for building

I may also suggest to them that they all work on a walled town with a castle. My plan is to see what the children prefer to do and let the lesson plan change as needed.
