(The goal of this lesson was to actively demonstrate a great unfairness between the money earning peasants and the money hungry kings)
First eight students were asked to go to the front of the room to represent peasants, and were each given four lolipops (representing produce and money). Then four students were chosen to be lords, and then chose two peasants and took three loli pops from each. Then two students were selected to be barons. The barons proceeded to select two lords and take four (Each lord had six after taxing the peasants) loli-pops from each. Then, one student had been selected to be king (The Bishop had been skipped). The king took all but one loli-pop from each of the two barons, possessing a total of 18 loli-pops. After the lesson, many students asked questions and gave their opinions. Landry responded with "i thought it was cruel how the peasants did all the work, yet the king did nothing and profited from them." Some students asked about how the royal system worked, with questions like; "What happens when twin sons are born? and, what happens if the queen can't have a son?"
