Crusades Project pt 4

So today, Futaba, Eddie, and I stayed at school till around five working on our projects. We each wrote a mini-script for our prospective crusades and directed and acted. So for this project we all became writers, directors, and actors. What a group of multitaskers, huh?

Here's the link for Crusade #2, the one I was in charge of:

(Sorry the formating for the citations isn't exactly correct. I'm having difficulties setting them up on Blogger.)

I had fun with this project. At first it was confusing and a bit scary having no set boundaries or directions. It was wierd, being told to do something, without being told how. However, once I decided how I wanted to do this and set about doing it, it was really fun. And strangely enough, despite working with my friends, I actually felt like I learned a lot about the first three crusades. Who would've thought?

I believe, despite the obvious silliness, that our project is actually quite informative on the muslim point of view on the crusades.
