The 7th graders are now in their late Middle Ages unit. We spent last week discussing the growing power of the pope in Europe. This week, students are learning about the Crusades. This morning, the 7th graders experienced the 4th Crusade through a "choose your own adventure" style simulation. Students choose what they would have done during several points of the journey. Later this week, we will discuss other events in the Middle Ages such as the One Hundred Years War and the Black Plague.
Questions for your 7th Grader:
-What happened during the 4th crusade?
-Do you think the Crusaders made good decisions?
Students discuss their decisions during the Crusader simulation
