What is Medieval Day?
Medieval Day is an event directed by the history teachers at Watkins Glen High School. It is full of activities and workshops to give students insight on the Medieval Era. Through out the day the students give their own presentations on a specific topic. It is small scale Renaissance Fair for 9th graders.
Mrs. Richmond-Handley's Experience
I have had the opportunity to work Medieval Day multiple times where I directed a small crafts table ranging from recycled plastic bag headdress to viking knit.
Besides the craft table, I directed a workshop on Byzantine Mosaics where the students listened to a small lecture and then created their own mosaics (photos below). While another year discussed illuminated lettering and the students were able to create their own.
