We finished The 13th Warrior today. Riley cried a bit in first block.

As our ship was coming to port in England, we were attacked by a French ship. What gives with this? Why did this happen?

We managed to sneak away and started to do a little recon work. We had two options: we could go ahead and face the French right away (take the quiz) or we could get some armor.

So far, everyone who faced the French (too the quiz) without the armor has failed. I’d suggest getting your armor first.

The armor is: A QUILT!

Don’t scoff, quilts are very protective. We got with a partner and started cutting and pasting the quilt pieces for the actual assignment.

There are ten parts to split up:

• The introduction
• Feudalisim
• Women
• Chivalry
• New City Classes
• Crusades
• Beckett
• Magna Carta
• 100 Years War
• Black Death

So, *why* did Riley dress up like a French person today?
