Feature Study Assignment

Middle Ages Feature Study Assignment


Format: Maximum size 8 1/2 by 11 (standard, letter size). Must be attractive, have clear title and neat, proof-read text. Citations must be provided for all text sources on bottom left in smaller font. Citations for picture must be placed with the picture caption, in smaller text. Student name, class, and date (in that order) must appear on bottom right. You must also include a properly formatted Works Cited/Bibliography.

Directions: You are to produce a feature study like the ones in your textbook. Choose a topic of interest, relating to the Middle Ages. The idea is to produce a visually interesting and informative study on a topic from this period in history. You should use a minimum of three sources. Things to avoid:

 too much text

 pictures that do not connect to the text

 trying to include too much information

 cramming too much information onto one page

 spelling and grammatical errors

 untidy appearance

Remember that the goal of this assignment is to highlight a specific aspect of the Middle Ages in a simple, short, format. This means careful selection of material, presentation method, and organization of information.

You will receive a mark of zero if you pass in your study without citations and/or a works cited.
