Demo For History Club

(1/4) > >>

Aiden of Oreland:
So recently my history teacher asked if my brother and I would be willing to do a demo on the medieval Knight for a history club meeting. Of course we accepted this offer. It will be for next school years club, but it is best to plan ahead!

 I was curious if anyone would mind giving a few tips on what I should do for this demo. A few ideas I had was to explain the main ideas and categories of chivalry and to also show how to equipped a suit of armor, say around the 13th century. Another idea was too explain the evolution of the knight, giving one example from each century and the evolution of warfare and it's weapons.

As many of you are experienced with these things, I need some help figuring out what to include in my demonstration. I want to make this interesting and memorable for high schoolers. No weapon demonstrations either lol.

For the Order of the Marshal members, would you like me to include a Make-A-Wish jar to try and make a couple of bucks under the Orders name?

Sir James A:
Depends on what they (or you) want to present on. Purpose of knights? Combat? Weapons and armor? Chivalry? Evolution of knights and their purpose over time? How to become a knight? Those questions will determine what to present.

Sir Nate:
Could make a powerpoint

Aiden of Oreland:
Well, everything that embodies a knight, and his qualities. I want to make it short and sweet, but I don't want them to think the knight looked one way.

Sir Brian:
Here is a link I believe Sir Ian originally posted concerning an excellent presentation of 'How a Man Shall be Armed". It has a lot of great information you can consider.

No that would not be appropriate. Our basic philosophy is if the event or presentation a non-profit or educational organization then the demonstration is our charitable contribution to that endeavor. We didn't take up a collection or request a payment from the Catholic University of America because it was an educational themed event. We were going to offer the same consideration for the College of Southern Maryland until they assured me that their event was not established as a fund raising or charitable endeavor. The Maryland Faerie Festival we did not charge a fee but negotiated free food, lodging and permission to 'pass the offering helm'.
