You are a Knight of the Round Table.
You will be given a quest by your King, Mr.
Magga. This quest is a simple one. Yet it is
one that will require you to be brave,
noble, chivalrous, and above all else,
studious. The legend of King Arthur is the
legend of brave and noble knights. It is the
tale of daring rescues and vicious fights
against evil knights and fire breathing
dragons. It is also the tale of men always
doing what was right for the good of
mankind and punishing those who did not. It
is your quest to search out the information
about King Arthur and his Knights and
return it to your King safely!
You will be using this page you are
looking at now as a form of “home Castle.”
This Castle will lead you on a quest for
knowledge about the Arthurian Legend
across the Internet. You should have in
front of you a Quest Log. This Quest Log is
a record of all of the information you
collect on your journey. Be sure that this
Quest Log is filled out as it will help you
better understand the man and the myth of
King Arthur and his Knights of the Round
Table.
Your final set of instructions are as
follows: Any time you see a word in BLUE
that is a link to the Internet. It will lead
your quest to a location that you should
be able to find what it is you are looking
for. When you have found your
information you will need to come back to
the Home Castle. To come back to this
Home Castle simply click on the BACK
button in the upper left hand corner of
your computer screen. As a Knight of the
Round Table you are to go only where your
King, Mr. Magga, allows you to go.
Straying from your given websites to other
sites not approved by your King will be seen
as disrespectful and you shall be cast out
from the quest. A knight cast from his
quest is look upon in shame!
Arthur’s knights were not alone in
their quests. They often had the help of
other knights. They worked together as a
team in order to accomplish the same quest.
You also will not be alone in your quest. If
you find yourself stuck and unable to find
an answer, ask your fellow knights for
assistance. Your King and Fair Ladies will
also be here to assist you if needed.
So go forth my young knights. Good
luck to you on your quest for knowledge!

King, will be giving you tasks. The questions that I pose
to you in each task are the same questions you can find
