Today I learned about the Crusades with my mom and dad. The Crusades symbol was a red cross. The Crusaders were Christians. My family is Christian too. The Crusaders tried to force the Muslims to give up Jerusalem but they never won. One of the most famous Crusaders was King Richard the Lionheart. I think the Crusades were dumb because they tried to force people to become Christian instead of letting them choose.
I also learned about the Black Death. Lot's of people died. 800 people died every day in Paris. Almost half of all the people in Europe died. I'm glad I didn't live back then. It would have been horrible.
The other thing I learned about was Shakespeare's plays. He wrote tragedies, histories and comedies. They performed his plays at the Globe Theater in London. Actors could get on the stage from underneath, or jumping from above, or walking through the stage door. I would like to be an actor in one of his comedies.
