Description
Students revisit Europe during the Middle Ages through guided practice activities, poems, songs, and an educational play packaged into a unique teacher resource book. This title integrates creative arts, innovative activities, and original music. Content is selected to coordinate with national standards in art, history and language arts. Two other important components of the book are a musical play and a pantomime. While entertaining students, it develops varied educational concepts and expands critical thinking skills. Students may: Stage the musical for an audience; act it out in class; or read it silently. All lyrics can be used as songs or read as poetry. Everything is reproducible. Grade 4-8.
