History Class.

In history we are doing a new unit on Europe and Medieval Times. Recently we took a test that reviewed everything we learned in the first semester. I didn't do too well. :( Today our teacher placed all the students in my class in ranks based on your overall grade and how you did on the test.
King & Queen
Lord
Knight
Peasant
Serf
Barn Animal
This is the order, going from high ranks to low ranks. The ranks are also based on how Medieval Times people were ranked in social status. I had a big suprise today - I am a lord! I was so relieved when she announced the results today in class. I hope my friend isn't a serf because if she is, she has to be tied to a desk and sit on the floor for the entire period, as part of the "experience." Serfs, back in old times, were like servants who could never leave a property they were "tied" to. The only downside to being a lord is that you must keep track of everyone and make sure they are on task.
