Learning Log Dec 7

Sorry posting this late, I was a little preoccupied with some erm... family matters

What we did
Today, we watched a movie called “First Knight”. It was about the Camelot
and King Arthur. The main plot of the story was that this land beside Camelot
called Lyonnais. They were attacked by Prince Malagant, a former Round Table
Knight who left and wanted King Arthur’s position. The queen there, Lady
Guinevere was arranged to marry King Arthur, who was double her age. On the way
there, she was ambushed by Malagant’s troops. During the mayhem, her carriage
was jacked and she jumped out, only to be followed by some troops and was saved
by Lancelot, another main character. She reached Camelot safely and got
married. But soon Malagant captured Lady Guinevere. And yet again, Lancelot
saved her. King Arthur made Lancelot a Knight of the Round Table. Soon word
came in that Lyonnais was captured and King Arthur went and recaptured Lyonnais.
After the battle, Lancelot and Lady Guinevere kissed in secret as their secret
affection for each other… let’s just say the dam broke for them. Unfortunate
for them, King Arthur caught them in the act and they were trialed for treason.
During trial, Malagant suddenly attacked Camelot and interrupted the court. King
Arthur’s men fought back and defeated Malagant. Malagant was killed by
Lancelot, but King Arthur was killed in the process and he was sailed off to
his special resting place at the end of the movie. We had this worksheet to
fill out while we watched the film. I’ll attach some pictures of the worksheet.

Learning Intentions

This is a film set during the Middle Ages, which is what we are about
to learn about so it is quite useful. Also this is a practice for note-taking
skills as we need to take notes on three general info questions.

Connections/ reflections
I thought it was an interesting movies though there was umm… some
scenes that were not that appropriate… I’ve watched this film before and I knew
what was about to happen. This is a film that really, when you think about it,
does not spread the right message to the viewers. For example, Lancelot once
and once again attempted to make Lady Guinevere to express love for him. That
is a message saying that it is ok for force someone into an relationship.

Homework.
