 Higgin's Museum Essay The tournament is a type of armor that is used for display and to show how much money you had. The kings would were this kind of armor when they went to parities just to show that they had more money so they could afforded this expensive piece of armor. In this type or armor you don't have very good flexibility and it weighs about 80 to 100 pounds. The tournament armor also didn't have very good visibility but did have very good defensive. If the armor was used during battle, it has good, thick metal and also very heavy metal. Another type of armor is combat. Combat armor is used for when they fought in the wars. The combat had good defence, flexibility and flexibility. The combat armor weighs from 45-80 pounds. It has about 200 pieces of metal put together. The helmet had adequate visibility and ventilation also. Along with the body armor, they had a combat lance. The lance was 10-14 feet long. The last type of armor is the decorative. The decorative had very good visibility and flexibility but not good defence. This type of armor weighed about 20-70 pounds. The decorative type of armor was only worn at parades, court events and ceremonies. Instead of having a lot of body protection it had more artistic design. The cost of this suit was about one fourth of a knights salary. Other than the three types of armor that are at the museum, they have a lot more information there. You can learn so much from just one visit. You also can learn about why some of the armor from the 1500's had points on there shoes and more about the different types of armor. The Higgins Armory Museum is worth a stop to learn so much on armor from the past. Higgins Museum Essay Evaluation 3 -- Outstanding 2 -- Ok, but could use some improvement 1-- Needed improvement 0 --- Missing Introduction 1 Gave the reader background and general information about the museum --- set the scene. 2 Transitions to the body of the essay. (Three things that can be learned by a visit to the museum) Body 2 Three topics were addressed, each with its own paragraph 2 Topics were clearly explained and used researched supporting details & vocabulary Conclusion 2 Restated topic --- What can be learned at the museum? 3 Brought closure to essay (Summed up essay) Structure 3 Essay format followed the directions for assignment 3 Spelling 3 Capitalization (Used correct capitalization) Comments: The overall format to the essay is good. You have good supporting details in the body (sentence 1 in the first paragraph is not correct information), but lack researched vocabulary called for in the directions. The introduction needed more background infromation about the museum to set the scene for the body. Your conclusion brings closure, but doesn't sum up the museum and the things that can be learned from a visit. Article posted May 3, 2010 at 08:16 AM • comment • Reads 1361 • Return to Blog List
