Coats of arms
Lead in : Ask students what they know about
coats of arms (they were originally used by
medieval knights ,who wore them on their
armour and shield in battles and tournaments
for identification .Without the coats of arms,it
would have been difficult to tell one knight in
armour from another .)
Tell students that many coats of arms have
animals in their design ,and look at the
examples together .Write the names of the
animals the students can find on the board
.Help out with the English names : kangaroo
,emu ,lion, owl ,horse ,bull ,bee ,ant .Ask
students if there is an animal in the coat of
arms of their own country.
Animals often represent certain qualities in
coats of arms. For example ,a lion represents
bravery .Go through the list of animals
together and let students say what qualities
they think the animals must have .Write their
suggestions on the board.

Students use the outline and design their own

coat of arms in groups.
In the end ask each group to hold one coat of
arms and describe the design ,and the
possible characteristics of the person who
made it.
