Medieval History: High School – Teacher Guide

Sample coming soon

From the Publisher:

By reading some of the best literature on the subject, homeschooling students and parents will be encouraged to discuss the new ideas and social changes that emerged between 400 and 1600 AD.

Although many people have been taught that this time was marked by darkness, ignorance, and struggle, this guide will show you that the opposite is true!

Reading Beowulf will open homeschool students’ eyes to the terrors of living under the threat of Viking raids. The Song of Roland provides a glimpse into the mores and ethics of a time when the concepts of chivalry were just developing, Travel with Marco Polo and Ibn Battuta through Asia and Africa, and learn the songs, hymns, and creeds of the medieval church.

Visit African empires that controlled the gold and salt markets for centuries. Read the writings of Martin Luther, Geoffrey Chaucer, Shakespeare, Galileo Galilei, John Calvin, and many others. Students who complete this study will have a rich, literary understanding of this pivotal time period, which has much to teach us about the times we live now.
