The Middle Ages

The Middle Ages transformed Europe from a collection of far-flung Roman Empire settlements to a continent of individual nations, the borders of which are in many cases still intact today. In the process, the era formed a cultural bridge between ancient and modern Europe. This program, produced expressly for the classroom, looks at several key aspects of the Middle Ages, including the Church, the Crusades, Feudalism, Art and Literature, Science, and the Black Death. It provides an in-depth, yet concise, introduction to the Middle Ages, and offers a wealth of background information to help students understand this complex period in history. A downloadable teacher's guide includes script, glossary, and reproducible activities.
