好奇心の年代記 - 中世の歴史; パート 3

This is the third in a series of year-long History classes, specifically covering Medieval History. This class uses the Curiosity Chronicles curriculum to teach Medieval History for 2nd to 5th graders. Curiosity Chronicles teaches history via conversation between two main characters - Mona and Ted - allowing for the study of history to feel more fun than academic! The student textbook and activity guide will be provided for at home use. I teach in a Socratic style, preferring to ask students for their thoughts instead of imparting my own. As a result, classes tend to be discussion-based. Each week, we will read a chapter of the student text and complete the student activity pages. The first meeting each week will focus on the textbook work, and we will complete the text, work on a timeline, complete map work, and finish any additional review in the second meeting. 

Our general class outline:
Week 1: Cities Thrive in North America
Week 2:  Mansa Musa’s Gold Dazzles the World
Week 3: East Africa Builds Wonders
Week 4: Death Sweeps Through Europe
Week 5: Tea, Ships, and Palaces: China Rises Again
Week 6: Sulieman Builds on Rome’s Ruins
Week 7: Europe is Reborn
Week 8: The Aztecs Build a Floating City
Week 9: Pachacuti Turns Cusco Into An Empire
Week 10: Europe Goes and Finds the Rest of the World
Week 11: Spain Claims the New World
Week 12: Europe is Ripped in Half (Again)

Students will have the option to read aloud or follow along, at their comfort level. This class is intended as an elementary history class, so while additional resources are listed in the textbook, we will cover them only as time permits. Students will need access to their textbook and each chapter's activity guide materials while in class.
