BÁBEL - A 4 KORSZAK

7-8. OSZTÁLY

2.FORDULÓ - KÖZÉPKOR

Kedves Versenyzők!

Elérkeztünk a 2015/16. évi Bábel – A 4 korszak angol nyelvi verseny 2. fordulójához!

Kalauzotok továbbra is a korábbi fordulóban megismert család: az építész apuka, Adalbert,

biokémia kutató mama, Wilhelmina, bakfis korba lépett lányuk, Eufrozina, és a kisöccse,

Martin.

Míg tavaly Eufrozina különleges iránytűjének köszönhetően a 4 égtáj épített és természeti

csodáival ismerkedhetett meg a család és a versenyzők, idén Martin kotnyeleskedő

csínytevéseinek köszönhető a kalandos időutazás.

A kis család derűsen töprengve ült a tengerparton.

„Mennyi érdekeset láttunk!” szólt Wilhelmina.

„Igen. Stonehenge… És a világ 7 csodája…! Jó, hogy erre játunk…”

tűnődött Adalbert.

Martin és Eufrozina eközben az időgépet szemlélgették.

„Nézd, Eufrozi, ezt a kallantyút eddig nem is vettem észre! Mi lenne, ha

kihúznám?”

„Jaj Martin, neee!”

A következő pillanatban Martin, Eufrozina, Adalbert és Wilhelmina egészen más tájon, más

időben találták magukat.

Task 1 Design your own Coat of Arm with Medieval Symbols 7 p / __

You can use the design page to help you: http://www.mytribe101.com/crest/index.php

The Coat of Arms started in about the 12th Century. A knight dressed in armour from head

to foot could not be recognised by friends or enemies. This resulted in markings being

painted on knights’ shields, as it was the largest piece of equipment the knight had and as

the shield was easily seen from far away. Attach your work to the test.

Follow the stages below to create your own Coat of Arms:

1. NAME - Find a nice sounding family name for your group, being now a family. (you can look into the real

names for help - http://fantasynamegenerators.com/#realNames)

2. SHIELD – sections should include something about what you like to do (hobby, sport or other pastime

3. COLOURS - choose your favourite colours for the background of your shield it could even be more than

one colour, perhaps one or two for each section.

4. MOTTO - this appears at the bottom of the coat of arms and would normally be three words describing

why the knight would be a good ally. Think of three words that sum up your strengths, or one of your

strengths.

Some colours, symbols and animals had special meaning when use on Coats of Arms.

Task 8 INVENTIONS 10p / __

What do you think is the coolest invention from the Middle Ages?

A B C

D E F G

H I J

1. Longbow with massed, disciplined archery (13th) - The Longbow was powerful, accurate and contributed

to the eventual demise of the medieval knight class. It was used by the English against the French during

the Hundred Years' War (1337-1453).

2. Heavy plough (5th - 8th) - The heavy wheeled plough first appeared in Slavic lands before it came to

Northern Italy (the Po Valley). By the 8th century it was used in the Rhineland. The Heavy Plough was

important in cultivation of the rich, heavy, often wet soils of Northern Europe.

3. Artesian well (1126) - A thin rod with a hard iron cutting edge is placed in a bore hole and repeatedly

struck with a hammer. Underground water pressure forces the water up the hole without pumping.

Artesian wells are named for Artois in France, where the first was drilled by Carthusian monks in 1126.

4. Wheelbarrow (1170s) - Useful in construction, mining, and farming. Wheelbarrows appeared in stories

and pictures between 1170 and 1250 in North-western Europe. First depiction in a drawing in the 13th

century.

5. Hourglass (1338) - A dependable, affordable and accurate measure of time. The instrument isn't liable to

freeze as other time measurements systems of the time did. Hourglasses are a medieval innovation first

documented in Siena, Italy.

6. Mechanical clocks (13th -14th) - A European innovation, these weight-driven clocks were used primarily in

clock towers.

7. Spectacles (1280s) - From Florence, Italy, convex lenses to help far-sighted people. Concave lenses fro

near-sighted people weren't developed before the 15th century.

8. Mirrors (1180) - First mention of a mirror was made in 1180 by Alexander Neckham who said "Take away

the lead which is behind the glass and there will be no image of the one looking in."

9. Oil paint (ca. 1410) - As early as the 13th century by Flemish painter Jan van Eyck around 1410 who

introduced a stable oil mixture. Oil was used to add details to tempera paintings.

10. Quarantine (1377) - Initially a 40-day-period, the Quarantine was introduced by the Republic of Ragusa to

prevent the spreading of diseases like the Black Death. Venice began quarantines, then the practice

spread around in Europe
