Feudalism Project

Feudalism Project Directions: Students will be placed into groups of two. Each group will be responsible for creating a 3D model of the Feudal System in Medieval Europe and a model for the Feudal System in Japan. The models will have 4 different sections, each representing a class from the system. Students will explain why each section is designed the way it is. Each student will be responsible for answering the inquiry questions as well as completing the Venn Diagram comparing the two systems. How to make sections    
