🏰 COMIC CHALLENGE: Life in a Medieval Christian Kingdom

Life in medieval Christian kingdoms was very different from today. Castles, villages, wars and religion were part of everyday life.

Your challenge is to tell a short medieval story… as a comic.

👉 What do you have to do?

Create a short comic (4-6 panels) about life in a medieval Christian kingdom.

In your comic you must show:

  1. Who you are (king, knight, monk, peasant…).

  2. Where the story happens (castle, village, monastery…).

  3. One daily activity.

  4. One problem or danger (war, taxes, hunger, attack, hard work…).

✏️ Format

  • The comic can be:

    • ✏️ Hand-drawn (take a photo).

    • 💻 Digital (simple tools are fine).

  • Each panel must have 1–2 short sentences in English.

📌 Rules

  • Use simple English.

  • Present tense.

  • Use your own ideas.

  • ❌ No copy-paste.

  • ❌ No AI.
