"Your mind is a garden and books are the seeds, so pick a favorite, and bloom as you read!" This class will examine the classic medieval book, "The Door in the Wall," over the course of four weeks. We will examine vocabulary and comprehension questions from each chapter, but also dive into the world de Angeli created with medieval history and geography enrichment activities too. Discussion questions will be posted for class collaboration on the board after each session, as well as, further...
Students will improve their understanding of medieval history through a study of de Angeli's historical fiction. We will be utilizing "A Door in the Wall" as the window into our study of one boy's perspective of Medieval England.
Hello from Texas! Although I am currently residing in Texas, we move quite often and that has allowed me to have many different types of career experiences. I have tutored privately and through well-known organizations; taught in the public school classroom setting with a self-contained classroom; substituted and interned in private school classroom settings; instructed at the community college level; assisted with museum operations; and homeschooled my three munchkins. I have worked with early education all the way up to the community college level.

It must be noted that while this book is invaluable for his historical content and perspectives of medieval literature, some sensitive topics that will be addressed throughout the course including but not limited to: death and paralysis due to sickness and plague, one-sided view of the Crusades, and English religious organizations of the time period such as, priories, monasteries, religious schools, etc. We will be noting and discussing these things during the conversation parts of the course. I have a M.A. in History and am also a licensed elementary educator. I believe in offering a multi-sided perspective in historical accounts.
