Creating an Illuminated Poem Student Handout
Pretend you are a scholar who has just traveled across medieval Europe. You want to create an illuminated
manuscript of a poem describing the structure of the Roman Catholic Church and its influence on daily life in
medieval Europe. Use History Alive! The Medieval World and Beyond and your Cornell Notes to guide you.
Your illuminated manuscript must meet these requirements:
• The poem must have nine short stanzas. Stanzas may vary in length; some may be only one line, while
others may be longer.
• The first letter of the poem’s stanzas must spell out the words THE CHURCH. Therefore, the first word of
Stanza 1 must begin with the letter T, the first word of Stanza 2 with the letter H, and so on.
• The first letter of your poem, a T, must be illuminated. This means you will decorate the letter with designs,
pictures, or symbols that represent medieval society.
• The poem must include at least four pictures. These can be placed in the margins, in the background, or
within the poem itself. The pictures should relate to your poem and help illustrate your ideas.
• The poem must contain nine words or phrases from the Word Bank.
• The poem must use correct spelling and grammar.
Prepare a rough draft of your poem, and have your teacher/partner review it. This assignment is worth 50
points.
