Our new Inquiry Tuning In

"I Love the Knight Life" :  an inquiry into the structures of Middle Ages society.

I think 'Tuning in' was fun. I learnt a lot about my character as a merchant. I didn't know what a merchant was until I had to research it. A merchant's job is in the market, trading. I learnt that a challenge for merchants is to get good material to trade like, salt, iron, textiles. Also, more value trades are cloth, shoes, beer and glass. I can't wait to learn more about the middle ages, and what life was like in that time.
