North Lamar High School’s World History students stepped back in time as they participated in the annual Medieval and Renaissance Fair, a tradition continued by Mr. Dennis Hodgkiss’ World History classes.
The event allows students to immerse themselves in history by researching and presenting topics of medieval wonder. Each student selects a subject from the medieval or Renaissance era, delving into its significance and historical impact. From knights and castles to plague doctors and Renaissance artists, the fair showcases a wide range of historical themes.
On the day of the fair, students bring history to life by dressing in renaissance attire and incorporating food, props, and interactive elements that reflect their chosen topic. Each student also prepares a detailed slideshow presentation, featuring photos and information designed to engage their audience.
The Medieval and Renaissance Fair has become a highly anticipated event among students and faculty, bringing a unique and engaging approach to history education at North Lamar High School.
