The Middle Ages

The goal of THE MIDDLE AGES is to help students understand the basic concepts of this historical period, including the barbarian invasions, feudalism, the Crusades, the devastation of the plague, the causes of the Renaissance and the beginning of the Reformation. This is accomplished through hands-on and project-based activities that are keyed to grade 7 social studies and language arts standards.
