Introduction
  • The unit I chose to design was a 7th grade World
    Studies Middle Ages (Feudalism and Transitions)
    unit. I selected this unit because I felt it
    comprehensively covered the essential information
    needed for the eighth grade Ohio Achievement
    Test, and I found the information in this unit
    interesting (personally).
  • The readings assigned to the students are all
    found in the textbook Medieval Times to Today.
    This is the textbook used to teach the 7th grade
    students at the school where I am currently
    student teaching. To prepare for teaching this
    unit I have designed this power point
    presentation to help guide my lesson planning.

History Benchmarks and Activities
  • Benchmark A. Interpret relationships between
    events shown on multiple-tier time lines.
  • Indicator 1. Chronology Group events by broadly
    defined historical eras and enter onto
    multiple-tier time lines.
  • Benchmark C. Describe the characteristics of
    feudal societies and the transition to the
    Renaissance and Reformation in Europe.
  • Indicator 4. Feudalism and Transitions Explain
    the Lasting effects of military conquests during
    the Middle Ages including
  • Muslim conquests
  • The Crusades
  • The Mongol invasions
  • Activity 1 As part of a pre-assessment
    activity, pass out a timeline on a piece of paper
    to each pair of students. Have the pair fill in
    the events missing from the timeline (word bank
    will be made available to the students).
  • Activity 2 Have students skim through the text
    and illustrations in Section 1 (Chapter Five) of
    their textbook, Medieval Time to Today. Have
    them find answers to the following questions
    What was life like in the northern-Italian
    city-states? How did art change during the
    Renaissance? Who were some important artists of
    the Renaissance? What was the Reformation?

5
History Activities cont.
  • Activity 3 Have students create web diagrams
    based on the information in Section 1 of their
    textbook, Medieval Times to Today. The hub of
    each diagram should include one of the three main
    headings of the section the World that Made
    Leonardo, The Renaissance Artist, or The
    Reformation. The extension from each hub should
    provide supporting details for each main heading.
    This activity should take about thirty minutes.
  • Activity 4 Students will read the article,
    Manuscripts, Books, and Maps The Printing Press
    and a Changing World The Development of Print
    Technology, that teaches students about the
    significance of printing with moveable type. To
    understand the significance of the ability to
    print with moveable type, students will complete
    the graphic organizer, An Invention-Causes and
    Effects found in Danilel J. Barnekows book,
    Graphic Organizers for Social Studies

    Raphael Sanzio, Caravaggio, Sandro Boticelli,
    Hieronymus Bosch, Pieter Breughel, Antonio
    Corregio, Giovanni Bellini, Albrecht Durer,

    the names of the goods on the map or using
    symbols and a key). Have students draw their
    maps on a large piece of white construction
    paper. Suggest that each trade route be traced in
    a different color for easy identification. Allow
    students to identify additional cities and
    commodities along the routes. In addition to

Study Skills and Methods Activities
  • Activity 1 Invite students to imagine that they
    are advisors to a king. The king wants to unite
    the many lords in his kingdom under his
    leadership. What should he offer to these lords
    to get them to pledge loyalty to him as their
    king? Tell students that money is not the issue.
    List ideas students think of on the chalkboard.
  • Activity 2 The students will read a summary of
    the ideas of John Wycliffe (1328-1384). Wycliffs
    influence was later felt in Bohemia, where John
    Huss led a large following and was ultimately
    excommunicated and condemned by the Council of
    Constance for refusing to yield to his conscience
    based on his views of Scripture and his
    insistence that the cup be administered to the
    laity at the Lord?s Supper. Huss was condemned
    and burned at the stake in 1415. A resulting war
    against Hussite followers in Bohemia lasted
    twenty years and proved indecisive. Half of the
    class will argue from the perspective/point of
    view of John Wycliffe or John Huss, the other
    half of the class will argue from the point of
    the church.

26
Study Skills and Methods Activities cont.

  • Activity 4 Students will place themselves in
    the shoes of a serf from the past. In their
    journals, they will respond to their rights and
    the various inequalities that they must contend
    with on a daily basis.
  • Activity 5 Students will read about the daily
    life for vassals, serfs, and nobles and will
    contrast social order in the Middle Ages with the
    social order that we have in place now.
