Wheel of Time - Week 11 - Medieval Book Discussion
It is time for our book discussion for the medieval time period. I'm sorry to say, that I think we were the only ones who had even started a medieval book - except in the case of Noah - he always seems to do what is asked. As we began class, we talked a litte bit about some of the environments and atmosphere during this period then started right in on the craft. I thought having them make a lapbook for the medieval time period would sumarize it fairly well, so that's what we did. I had made a few copies of castles, famous people, and shields for their use and cut them out. But the rest of their creation was entirely on their own. I let them look through whatever resources I had (knights coloring book, castles, cathedrals, & the Story of the World Activity Book) & I made copies of anything they wanted in class on whatever color of paper they requested. It kept me pretty busy but I think they had an enjoyable time. One of the comments I heard just made my day. Quote "This is the best class ever".
