About this activity
At harvest time, students send each load of the harvest where the rules send it in two 3D villages: an English manor around 1300 and an ancestral Wendat village in southern Ontario in the 1400s. They find out who works the land, who keeps the food and who decides, then compare both villages with Canada today.
What students learn
- Compare the social organization of an English manor around 1300 and an ancestral Wendat village in the 1400s: who works the land, who keeps the harvest, who decides, and the status of women
- Explain how the daily work of serfs, the lord, Wendat women and Wendat men followed from how each society was organized
- Work out the tithe as one tenth of a harvest
- Compare each village's rules with rights in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms today
