Today we looked at a powerpoint presentation about gargoyles. We discussed why Mideval people had gargoyles. Some reasons we came up with were that people had shorter life spans and people were exposed to a lot more death and disease, and wanted things to protect them. This will be a precursor to our next activity.The students really enjoyed seeing the variety of gargoyles from different parts of the world, as well as other sixth grade students' interpretations of gargoyles.
