Step One : Design individual manors (rough draft only) Step Two : Choose a rough draft to take to final draft Step Three: Choose a name and setting for your manor Step Four: Each team member chooses a building to build as a homework assignment. Size is a definite consideration, please communicate carefully. Each building must have a created family living in it. Know how many are in the family, what they do for a living, who they are friends with… Step Five : Team members decide what parts of the project they will be responsible for completing: Outer wall (box), fields, town green, trees, anything else? Step Six: Teams will build during class November

The home of the average worker consisted of wooden supports with spaces consisting of a mixture of material called wattle and daub. The wattle of the house consisted of willow sticks woven together to form a type of mesh. The daub was applied to the wattle to seal it and make it waterproof. Daub was made from mud, clay, horsehair, and the dung of the animals in the area.

The floor was dirt, covered by a layer of reeds which provided some cushioning for the tired workers' feet. The roof was made of a similar type of woven reed/daub combination or shingles made of wood or slate.

In almost every craftsmen's home, from where most of them distributed their goods, there was a large frontal window with two horizontal shutters, which folded out to create an awning and a small counter to sell their items from.
