Interview- Medieval
Interviewing a Knight
"Why did you want to be a knight?"
"I wanted to be a knight to serve my king and to be loyal to my country."
"What does it take to be a knight?"
"It takes lots of courage, strength, bravery, discipline, and the ability to fight."
"Have you gotten any injuries while fighting?"
" I lost my head once, but I managed to sew it back on before the next round."
"Wow! What were your first thoughts after you lost your head?"
"My first thought was 'Oh no! The world is turning upside down!' But after that I was glad I lost my head for my country.

Political, Medieval
Yesterday morning the king, claming that too many knights have been badly injured or killed by being struck during jousting touornaments, passed a law requiring a blunted tip secured onto each lance before being used in a tournament. "My goal," says the king, " is to keep my knights as protected as possible at all times, even when they are entertaining themselves."

Children's Crusade
In France a shepherd boy named Stephen, led 30,000 children trying to get to Palestine. No one knows how the children's crusade got started, but it was seen as a sign from God. As they traveled to the Mediterranean port many died of hunger and disease, and some went back home. Those that arrived at the port had trouble finding passage to Palestine. The children prayed but found no answer to their prayers. Finally some merchants came and said they would take them to Palestine. However, they were instead taken to Egypt where they were sold into slavery. Now parents want answers.- Kim F.

Herodotus Travels Abroad (484 B.C.)
By Susanna
Herodotus is a very interesting man. He is a writer, and for many years has been traveling to exciting places like Egypt, the Middle East, and South Africa. He enjoys writing about other peoples' cultures so we may understand them better. It is amazing how he can make these journeys because it is very hard to travel. Herodotus also has an interesting fascination with the Persians, he writes extensively on their lifestyle, for instance what they wear in battle, their education methods, and even what a rich man does for his birthday! He writes in a very enjoyable manner, and tries to make events exciting. He is one of the first people we know of to write down what’s happening around him. Herodotus at the moment resides in a Greek colony, and is currently working on his ninth novel on the Persian wars.

Interview with Ceaser...
"What was going through your head when you sentenced this man Jesus to be crucified?"
"At the time, I wondered why the people of Israel wanted this man to die, and why so harshly. for as far as i knew he had done nothing wrong."
"Why do you think the citizens of Jeruselem traded Jesus for Barabus?"
"I think that they so desperately wanted Jesus to die, that they ultimately decided they would rather have a murderer instead of a healer."
"What did you think when Jesus said nothing even though he was being wipped and beaten?"
"At first I just assumed that he was to overwhelmed by pain to speak, then i thought that maybe he was afraid to talk to such a man of power as I. But as contemplated that, it didn't make sense since he claimed that he was God. I ultimately figured he was a humble man who took his beatings silently, not wanting to spoil his testimony."
"Did you wish to witness this man die?"
"No, I had no interest in watching an inocent man die."
"Do you belive that he was who he claimed to be?"
"No I do not, but i do believe he had extrodanary gifts."
"Thankyou for your time Ceaser."
