the backbone of medieval society was a system of allegiance between lords and vassals, the character of which varied from place to place, but which generally meant a grant of land given by a lord to a vassal in exchange for military service. however, that system of allegiance only refers to the actions within one group of the three main orders of medieval society: those "who fought." there were also those "who prayed," the clergy and monastic organizations, and those "who worked," the peasant farmers who made up the vast majority of the population. these three groups, those who fought, those who prayed, and those who worked, came to be known as the "three orders" (or "three estates"). people looked to the rich and powerful nobles, called lords, for protection. the lords owned large estates and had armies to defend them against attack. free men looking for the lord's protection accepted the lord's offer and become serfs. serfs agreed to farm the lord's land and give him a portion of their crops. this system of working in return for protection was known as feudalism (see image on the right). wars often broke out between the various regional lords who wanted to expand their land holdings and add to their estates. the warriors that fought on behalf of the lords were known as knights. knights were known for their bravery and skill. eventually castles were constructed as the ultimate defense system against the constant wars.

Adapt the speech you delivered in lesson 2 to an audience of professionals, teachers, and parents. the audience expects a more formal delivery. your listeners also expect you to use media such as images and audio to make your speech more convincing and easier to understand. your assignment should include the following elements: -at least four sources to back up your ideas -media elements to illustrate your ideas -changes to both the style and content of the speech to make it more appropriate to the audience -citations that follow mla guidelines as you revise your presentation, research and cite at least four sources. at least two of these sources must provide supporting evidence, such as charts and graphs or quotes from newspapers or other credible sources. the other two sources can provide material to grab the audience's attention — for example, photos that your audience visualize what you're talking about or music that sets the mood. you can also create original images, but these will not count as sources. here are some types of media that you may use to either show evidence or move the audience: quotes tables, charts, and graphs images video audio (including music) mix up the types of media you use so that no medium is used more than twice. take care that all your sources contribute to your speech in an obvious way. they should either back up what you're saying or make your ideas easier for your audience to understand logically or emotionally. avoid visual aids that are off topic or confusing. ask yourself these questions as you revise: am i still fulfilling the requirements of the speech i gave in lesson 2? is my speech still about a theme in franklin roosevelt's four freedoms speech? do i connect that theme to my own life and to a current issue? are my sources credible and relevant? will they convince an audience of parents, teachers, and professionals? do my media elements enhance my speech? do they set the mood, explain something difficult, or offer convincing proof? do i avoid media elements that are more distracting than ? did i cite my sources according to mla guidelines? did i check my works-cited page against sample works-cited pages to make sure it's correct?
