A Medieval Christmas!
Many of the holiday customs we observe today originated in medieval Europe. So bake that gingerbread and pour hot cider into a punch bowl! Dress up as mummers, sing carols, and dance the jig! Extroverts will love the memory game, “The Twelve Days of Christmas.”
(Introverts would rather play chess.)
Too much religion for you, amigo?
Well, it can’t be helped.
The Middle Ages was the “Age of Faith.”
Unless your students grasp that, they’ll never understand the Reformation. Much less the Age of Reason.
Besides . . . All of the terms in this lesson appear on standardized tests. So if anybody gives you a hard time, make ‘em “eat humble pie.”
Are you teaching the Middle Ages?
