Serfs and Lords

Young scholars determine what the roles of serfs and lords were in feudal society. In this feudalism lesson, students examine what life was like for the different classes by looking at farm and manor life. They listen to Till Year's Good End, by W. Nikola-Lisa, before discussing the work that was performed by the serfs. They work in small groups to write and present a reading about what it was like to be a lord, knight, or peasant.
