These new standards have me going loopy! My school is trying out some new units to practice using the new Common Core. I really like them so far, but it certainly has been a challenge to take complex texts and subjects and teach them to fourth graders that I feel have had the bar set way too low for them. They have struggled, but the topics we are tying it in with have kept them trying since their interest is up. The unit we are going over now is a "Heroes Unit" - can you define a hero in words. We have looked at different kinds of heroes in stories and in non fiction, and collected traits that we see heroes having. One of the texts that we tackled was the poem of Robin Hood and Little John. It was in fancy old English and took more than a week to go through, but was a lot of fun. What really helped was going over the Middle Ages society at that time and it helped with the lingo and lifestyles mentioned in the poem. This meant I had to explain feudalism to fourth graders...a topic I didn't learn until Jr. High. I did the age old M&M's activity to show the power each class had (the king, nobles, knights, peasants), and I also had them read a general article on how feudalism worked. What really made it click for them was the following reading/writing activity. I found a simple reading on each of the classes and made copies proportionate to how many there possibly would be in each social class (just a few nobles, a few more knights, and a lot of peasants) I randomly passed out the articles to the students...boy were they excited to see which class they were given...they were all begging to be knights, but quickly realized there was a lot to learn no matter what. Their assignment was to read the article and then become that person and write an introduction, introducing themselves and teaching us a few things about their lives as a noble, knight or peasant. I showed them a model by being completing one as a king. Students took about two days to complete the assignment. I then posted some of the completed ones in the room (had to be neat), and put them in the feudal pyramid shape. Students loved reading each of their introductions and now have used the facts they learned in their reading and have connected the characters actions to their social class. We moved on to discovering the real purposes of castles. Students were surprised to learn that they were not built just to be a crazy big house. I then had them complete a RAFT assignment...more on that later.
Most of the fabrics for new church hangings in the 14th and 15th centuries were made in Europe. Italy was especially important as a source of multi-coloured, lavishly patterned silks, shot through with gold. Embroidery also thrived, producing masterfully worked figures and scenes in the Christian tradition. Similar motifs can be seen in the exquisite […]

Book Synopsis In this fresh approach to the history of the Black Death, John Hatcher, a world-renowned scholar of the Middle Ages, recreates everyday life in a mid-fourteenth century rural English village. By focusing on the experiences of ordinary villagers as they lived -- and died -- during the Black Death (1345-50 AD), Hatcher vividly places the reader directly into those tumultuous years and describes in fascinating detail the day-to-day existence of people struggling with the tragic effects of the plague. Dramatic scenes portray how contemporaries must have experienced and thought about the momentous events -- and how they tried to make sense of it all. Review Quotes Bookviews.com, July 2009 "This book uses a bit of fiction, mixing it with [Hatcher's] vast knowledge to illuminate that catastrophe." Curled Up with a Good Book "This book screams 'docudrama.' One wonders if it will be made into a TV mini-series, so vivid is its novelistic story line yet accurate its information...What Hatcher has done, and done well, is to tell the tale of the Black Plague that swept through Europe in the 14th century from the viewpoint of a single English village." Cleveland Plain Dealer, 8/7/09 "The core of the story -- the plague's effect on the lives of everyday people-- is as true as can be surmised, nearly 700 years later."

I taught a brand new math lesson recently, and it turned out to be one of my favorites ever! Our school mascot is the Knight, and every Knight needs a castle, so our class decided to become castle architects. We learned a lot about geometric solids along the way and had so much fun with it. You can see the pictures and read all about it over at my blog. You can also grab a free table your students can use to record their information during the lesson. For classroom organization tips, literacy resources, reading strategies, writing minilessons, math games, freebies, and more follow my blog, Ms. Fultz's Corner.

Cycle 2 - Week 2 Feudalism I saw this really cute idea online at http://www.parents.com and thought it would be terrific for our Wonderful Wednesday group! The idea came from a secular book about the medieval times called Knights and Castles by Avery Hart and Paul Mantell. It had a poem in it that I really liked for it's simplicity in teaching kids the basic idea to remember with regard to feudalism, called The Four Alls. Here is how it goes: The Peasants who worked for all, Priests who prayed for all, Knights who fought for all, and Kings who ruled all. There is a diorama activity in the book which is what we used as our guide, along with our imaginations, to create our feudal system diorama! First we had to get into the mood to travel back in time....so everyone came dressed like peasants! They are adorable!! We then started in with our lapbooking for Week 2, using www.wisdomandrighteousness lapbooks that we had pre-assembled for the year. We then began assembling our project. Sarah and I had made ours the day before because I wasn't quite sure how long this project would take and to what level of detail we would have time for in our day. It took us about 2 hours to assemble and embellish our diorama. It was a lot of fun to be creative and think about the various items that might have been used during that time period for those aspects of life. I thought our group had great creativity and diversity in what their final products looked like! It was impressive. We just stood there and looked at them all for a prolonged period after they were completed - noting the detail and the differences in each one's dioramas. This was a top notch project to me and super fun! The first thing we did was decide in what order the boxes would be stacked. Two of the girls in our group had gone to Michael's and bought picture boxes on sale. That gave it a nice colored/uniform look and I liked that idea. I used just shoe boxes I had around the house saved, as did one other Mom. Both ways came out great in the end. I assembled the first three boxes first but then realized that it would be easier to do them one at a time and assemble them at the end. So the next thing Sarah and I did was to work on how to make our Church roof. I did it one way the day before and learned a better way for the group to do it the next. Thus the doing it in advance on this project! Gave me good insight on what worked and what didn't as well as allowed me to help with gluing and assembling to make it go quicker for the group. This ended up being the best way to assemble the roof: cut the length side of your box across on one side. Next cut your extra shoebox top out to match the part that you just cut (should have a long rectangle attached at one side like picture below). Then glue them together at the top and glue the rectangle you made to the other side of a box with a hot glue gun. Then trace the triangle you have as an open space on the back of the box onto the second extra shoebox top you have and cut it out and glue it to the open triangle. Then you can begin painting the box and adding your embellishments. I found this great cheap fabric at Walmart that looked like a stained glass window. So we began cutting out stained glass windows for our Church. Once cut, we hot glued the fabric onto the back of the box wall to become our "window". One of the Mom's had a great idea and cut a hole in the back of the box to match her window and then took a large packaging piece of take to stick it to into the hole. It gave it a cool window look with the fabric/light making it look more "realistic". Next I took natural raffia and cut it out to make a "frame" around my window. Hot glued that by tacking it around the fabric onto the wall. Like below... We then decided to make a Church cross for our wall. We took popsicle sticks and cut off the ends to make it into a cross, gluing them at their intersection with a hot glue gun. Next she took gold glitter glue and painted her cross. We then spray painted glitter glue I had into the back of the Church to make it sparkle. Just a fun touch but not necessary. I then took a popsicle stick and cut it in half and took two more hot gluing them together length wise, to make a Priests alter. We glued some additional fabric I had found that looked medieval Next the kids made their own versions of goblets and plates for the alter out of model magic. I took some extra cardboard to cut out and attach to each level of the diorama labeling it's proper "All" for the kids to remember each level in feudalism. I folded them over about 1/2" and glued them to the proper level like below. Next we worked on the castle Knights level. I took a sponge and cut it so that it made squares when dipped in paint and dabbed onto the back of the box. Sarah went to decorating her castle with paint. We next added these cool plastic knights that I found at Science Safari. The last detail we added was our flags. I cut out of white and red felt, flags and hot glued them to the back of the box. I took the raffia and twisted it to make it look like a wooden bar to hang them by and attached that. The next level we worked on was the Kings level. I cut out of the box top a castle looking embellishment with a carpenter's knife. Sarah then painted the back and front of the box to look like bricks once again for our castle. We then added some tapestry fabric I found at JoAnn's over the summer. We hot glued it to the back of the wall and I once again used the raffia to be my "pole" holding it up on the wall. I wasn't able to find reasonably priced Kings or Queens for this level as far as plastic pieces - so each person did something different to represent their King. We had some that did chairs with candles, some did big tables, some found online printable images they printed and laminated then glued to popsicle sticks and added into their box. Each let their kids imagination guide them on what they would use to embellish this level. Our last level to complete was for the peasants. On this level we decided to take brown playdough and the container it came in. We put the container upside down and then she molded the playdough over it to look like a hay mound. We added hay we had around the house and then plastic figurines of animals I found at the Party Store over the summer. We made fences cutting popsicle sticks in half both length wise and width wise. We hot glued them together to form fences and then hot glued them into place on that level. Then we had our diorama complete! It was really fun and a big project but great for the beginning of school when we're not having to drill as much and do as much since we're right at the start of it all and had more time! The next day in costume! Disclaimer for today: If you are new to CC, then don't feel like the things you may see me or my group do each week is required in any way, in order to be doing CC. This is truly an enrichment activity that we find fun and a great diversion from the normal grind of drilling and working on the 3R's all week. It is not required and if you are struggling with the basics of how to incorporate CC into your day, then don't add this type of activity until you are fully comfortable with just drilling the memory work each day, listening to the music, downloading the materials from C3 to help you drill and feel like you've got it under control. If you're finishing your day and have time and want to add in things to enrich what their learning, then that's where I'm at. :) The last thing I want to do is discourage any moms or make them feel overwhelmed. I blog our Wednesdays because I know lots of Moms (since I've heard from many of you!), enjoy doing what we do or a modified version of it and really enjoy the ideas and creativity. My goal is to encourage and support you Moms out there! Days when I'm not doing Wonderful Wednesdays are filled with math, reading, writing, copywork, spelling and drilling. They're not all "wonderful" and for us that makes Wednesdays more special. I work hard and I play hard. That's my personality! I hope that helps to put what I do into perspective for Moms out there viewing.

This 8 page packet/lesson teaches students about how feudalism structured society in the Middle Ages - using primary source excerpts, images, notes sections, and a fun simulation activity. There are 4 pages of materials for the simulation, as well as a complete 3 page teacher lesson guide and answer key. Depending on your class length, this lesson may take two class days or can be partly given as homework. The lesson begins by having students complete an engaging Do Now activity to get them thinking about the needs people had in Europe after the fall of Rome. Then, students learn hands-on about the feudal system by participating in a fun, thorough simulation activity that is always a much-loved highlight of the year for the kids (and also pretty hilarious for you as the teacher!). Great for kinesthetic learners! Students learn about the economy of feudalism under the manor system, and then about the different social roles in feudalism as they analyze the contract between a lord and his villein (tenant farmer), act out a fun readers’ theatre dialogue between a serf and a lord, and read several primary source excerpts to learn about knights, the Code of Chivalry, and the concept of courtly love. Students finish by examining a flow chart showing the overall development of feudalism after the fall of Rome and use what they learned in the lesson to complete a writing activity on why feudalism developed and how it structured medieval society. This lesson covers all the key points students must know about this subject for state assessments, and is completely Common Core aligned.

Around 320,000 years ago a new flaking technology came to dominate the toolkit of early humans in Europe, marking the beginning of what we call the Middle Palaeolithic period. Named after the Parisian suburb of Levallois-Perret, where this type of tools were first discovered, the Levallois technology heralds a significant change in stone age culture and implies an increasing cognitive ability of the tool maker. When compared to earlier technologies such as the pebble chopper toolkit, consistin

This is a history reading passage and comprehension assessment on Amerigo Vespucci, the Italian explorer and navigator who lived during the 15th and early 16th centuries and who lent his name to two continents (North and South America). Vespucci sailed to the New World and wrote letters about his voyages, which were widely read in Europe. Vespucci's journeys helped Europeans learn more about the Americas, contributing to the age of exploration and expanding knowledge of geography during his time. His accounts also played a role in shaping European perceptions of the lands across the Atlantic Ocean, influencing future exploration and colonization efforts. This passage is written for Grade 5-8 students and can be used in a number of ways by teachers (close reading, direct instruction in class, independent practice, homework, test prep, assessment, sub work, centers, etc). This printable/no prep resource includes: 1) An engaging 800-word passage called 'Amerigo Vespucci, Explorer and Navigator. The passage is at an upper elementary and middle school reading level and tells the story of Vespucci's life and his historically significant expeditions that gave America its name. 2) A total of 29 questions, including vocabulary, reading comprehension, sequencing events from Vespucci's life, and cause and effect.

This 10 page packet/lesson teaches students about the economic, social, and political impact of the Commercial Revolution on Europe in the Middle Ages. The lesson uses primary and secondary source readings and analysis, as well as chart, image, and map analysis. A thorough teacher answer key is included. The lesson begins by having students complete a "Do Now" question that sets up the lesson. Then, students connect the lesson to previous knowledge about the fall of Rome and the conditions of the early Middle Ages by examining a demographic chart. Students then learn about the growth of towns and cities in Europe and their living conditions by analyzing and comparing multiple primary source excerpts. They read a secondary source and examine an image to learn about city charters, the emancipation of serfs, the growth of the middle class, and the significance of bills of exchange. They proceed by reading a primary source excerpt of medieval guild regulations to learn the roles of guilds in protecting their members, keeping social order, maintaining the quality of goods, and preventing economic competition. Students learn about the growth of anti-Semitism in the Middle Ages and Jews' exclusion from the guilds. Students then use a map of medieval trade routes and trade fairs to draw conclusions about the growth of trade, location of trade centers, role of trade fairs, and significance of the powerful Hanseatic League. The packet finishes with a summative writing activity allowing students to wrap up their discoveries about the overall impact of the Commercial Revolution in medieval Europe.

This is a bundle of 3 highly animated, power point presentations on The Renaissance in Italy and Europe. The presentations together number 64 slides. Each of the presentation slides are editable so you can change them to fit your individual needs. The Renaissance was a cultural and scholarly movement which stressed the rediscovery and application of texts and thought from classical antiquity, occurring in Europe during c. 1400 – c. 1600. Essentially, it was a cultural and intellectual movement, intimately tied to society and politics, of the late 14th to early 17th centuries, although it is commonly restricted to just the 15th and 16th centuries. It is considered to have originated in Italy. It was stimulated primarily by: Petrarch, who had a passion for rediscovering lost manuscripts and a fierce belief in the civilizing power of ancient thought and the social climate in Florence. At its core, the Renaissance was a movement dedicated to the rediscovery and use of classical learning, i.e. knowledge and attitudes from the Ancient Greek and Roman eras. Renaissance literally means ‘rebirth’, and Renaissance thinkers believed the period following the fall of Rome, which they labeled the Middle Ages, had seen a decline in cultural achievement compared with the earlier eras. Power point #1 is entitled, The Renaissance and contains 22 slides and covers the following: Introduction What Was The Renaissance? The Core of the Renaissance “High” Renaissance Further Developments Previous Renaissance Origins of the Renaissance Italian Society New Found Wealth Spread of the Renaissance End of the Renaissance? Interpretation Renaissance Art Renaissance Humanism Tension with the Church Renaissance Politics Books & Learning Italy’s Contribution End of Presentation The Renaissance began in the early 1300s. It was a flowering of culture beginning in Italy, from where it spread throughout Europe. “Renaissance” means "rebirth". It was a return to a culture which had existed before the "dark ages". Like every other historical development, it arose from certain conditions including the advances in architecture and writing made during the high middle ages. In the Renaissance, much of the works created were derivative of the Classical Period. The dark ages had seen the destruction in Europe of much of the science and writings of the Classical Period. This was due largely to barbarian invasion and the rise of feudal states which put their main emphasis on local subsistence. Much thought was given to raiding and defense against raids, and little to peaceful trade. It was free trade that sparked the Renaissance. Power point #2 is entitled, The Renaissance - The European Renaissance and contains 28 slides and covers the following: Introduction The Italian Renaissance Classical Works Theory of the Leisure Class Great Artists & Writers The Thinkers Leonardo Davinci Humanism The Condottieri The Northern Renaissance Key Figures in the North (2) Spain’s Contribution Scientific Revolution End of Presentation Toward the end of the 14th century AD, a handful of Italian thinkers declared that they were living in a new age. The barbarous, unenlightened “Middle Ages” were over, they said; the new age would be a “rebirth” of learning and literature, art and culture. This was the birth of the period now known as the Renaissance. For centuries, scholars have agreed that the Italian Renaissance happened just that way: that between the 14th century and the 17th century, a new, modern way of thinking about the world and man’s place in it replaced an old, backward one. By the end of the 15th century, Italy was being torn apart by one war after another. The kings of England, France and Spain, along with the Pope and the Holy Roman Emperor, battled for control of the wealthy peninsula. At the same time, the Catholic Church, which was itself wracked with scandal and corruption, had begun a violent crackdown on dissenters. In 1545, the Council of Trent officially established the Roman Inquisition. In this climate, humanism was akin to heresy. The Italian Renaissance was over. Power point #3 is entitled, The Renaissance - The Italian Renaissance and contains 14 slides and covers the following: Introduction The Center of the Universe The Italian Renaissance Worldly Pleasures New Humanism Science & Technology Galileo Galilei Johannes Gutenberg Architecture Art End of the Italian Renaissance End of Presentation This is one of many bundled power point presentations I offer in my store under the heading.... The Renaissance.

This 6 page packet/lesson teaches students about the rise, fall, and impact of the Medieval Frankish kings - from Clovis to Charles Martel to Charlemagne - using images, maps, primary source excerpts, and notes sections. A complete teacher answer key is included and the packet can be broken into two days of lessons. The first three pages examine the impact of the Merovingian Franks. First, a timeline and map analysis activity sets up historical context for students linking the fall of the Western Roman Empire through to the early Middle Ages. Then students read a primary source excerpt about the conversion of Clovis to Christianity and analyze the significance of this event. Next, students examine a map of Charles Martel's victory against the Muslims at the Battle of Tours and analyze why this moment was important for Europe's history. The next three pages examine the Carolingian Dynasty, specifically how "great" Charlemagne really was. Students examine images and read primary source excerpts to identify the significance of certain aspects of his reign such as: being crowned Holy Roman Emperor by the Pope, the missi dominici administrative system, restoration of Roman knowledge and education systems, and use of the feudal fief system. Students finish by reading reasons why Charlemagne may NOT be considered great, and completing an evidence-based persuasive writing assignment. The packet is left in Word so you may edit it according to the needs of your class. This lesson covers all the key points students must know about this subject for state assessments, and is completely Common Core aligned.
