Short Summary
Class Information
Description
Is getting your learner to explore the medieval world harder than defending a castle during a siege?
This course is here to change that! From Viking raiders to medieval kings and Black Plague researchers, learners step into history with immersive simulations and creative projects—no armor required!
They’ll navigate feudal Europe, the Islamic Golden Age, and the vast Mongol Empire, governing kingdoms as Justinian and Theodora, following Ibn Battuta’s epic travels across West Africa, and unraveling the drama of the Wars of the Roses.
Through hands-on projects like the Medieval Moments Project and the Peep-Into History Diorama Project, learners will craft graphic novels, stories, memes, or even 3D historical scenes that bring the medieval world to life.
What’s Included:
- Immersive Simulations – Take on roles like Viking warriors, medieval rulers, and plague researchers.
- Creative Projects – Dive into history with activities like the Medieval Moments Project and Peep-Into History Diorama.
- Global Connections – Explore Europe, Asia, Mesoamerica, and West Africa, uncovering how civilizations shaped the medieval world.
By the end, learners won’t just know history—they’ll experience it, connect with it, and maybe even love it.
This isn’t just a history class—it’s a journey of storytelling, strategy, and hands-on discovery that makes the medieval world unforgettable!
Medieval Moments Project: Learners will showcase their understanding of medieval civilizations—from feudal Europe and Japan to the Mongol Empire, Islamic Golden Age, Mesoamerican societies, and West African kingdoms—through a creative project. They’ll craft a short story, graphic novel, comic strip, or meme series that brings their chosen civilization to life, highlighting its culture, daily life, and historical significance.
Alternative Option: Peep-Into History Diorama Project – For a hands-on approach, learners can create a 3D diorama using PEEPS candies, reconstructing a key historical event from medieval history. They’ll research, brainstorm, and bring their scene to life with teacher support and feedback.
Detailed project guidelines will be provided in class.
