First Lesson
If you were going to teach a unit on medieval history, what would your first lesson be on?
If you were going to teach a unit on medieval history for year 9s, what would you do in your first lesson? To get their attention and interest, but also still be in control and get something learnt of some sort? And would you do the unit chronologically, or thematically? I'm leaning towards thematically but there's so much overlap.
You'd start on a topic that happened nearer the middle of the medieval era?
I'm a health science teacher and yes, I do cover medieval history in it's relationship about the black plague. there is a movie on the history channel about the black plague that discusses the medical aspects and how it changed the feudal system to the one use today. I provide them with options of medical care what there chances of surviving are and discuss the inventions that changed the treatment of medicine. I make them watch the video at the end to see how much they retain and what they learned about how lucky we are now. I also have multiple books about the plague that I purchased and donated to the media center. I even include the art work of the day and how it reflected the attitude of the people. Ring around the rosies, dancing on the graves and having parties in the grave yards. skeletons in almost all of the paintings of the day. and for sometime afterwards. Hope this helps.
