In this 14 week flexible schedule class, each week we will travel to a different part of the medieval world, discover and discuss what was happening, and then complete a fun art project that goes along with our weekly theme. Though the "Middle Ages and Medieval" primarily relate to Western cultures, we will explore a few other regions during this same time period, we will also learn about the people of India, Asia, Africa, and the Pacific Islands during this time period.

Orientación para padres
Please be advised that this class often discusses the sensitive topic of war. The middle ages was a time when societies clashed often over cultural and especially religious issues throughout Europe, Asia, and Africa. I do not discuss the specifics of these topics, as the lessons are meant to be introductory for elementary students. I do encourage learners to consider the reasons for these conflicts and discuss whether those reasons are “fair”. I believe introducing world history broadly to elementary students prepares them for more in-depth study in middle school and beyond.
Lista de útiles escolares
