 Starting Mini-Goals!! 

My first one was "I am going to do research on how many people lived in a medieval village and what their lives were like and take notes" .

There's... a lot out there.  And I've not even started on the Black Death yet.  But I am taking notes (I have about ten things saved in a document as of now) 

Some facts I've found that are interesting: 
  • A population for a medieval village would usually be about 50-100 people.
  • Medicine back then was primitive.  Doctors would put leeches on people's skin and "bleed " them.  (eww) 
  • Peasant families' houses would be dark and uncomfortable.  Usually only one or two rooms and everyone slept in the same room. The family's animals (like a cow) may also be inside the house. 
  •  People usually drank wine or ale (since the water was bad)
  • Marriages were arranged; especially nobles. Noble girls would get married as young as 12.

Challenge 335

We’re going to do some novelization !!

Take a scene from a movie or Tv episode ( … you could maybe do an audio) . Write it out as if you were writing one of those Target books. But here’s the twist-  try and use some action verbs to describe what’s going on.
