[Sca-cooks] Grade school Spanish

[Joanne Clyde]

I am currently teaching Spanish in a Junior High in the Chicagoland area.  I 
would like to do a couple of lessons on Medieval Spain.  Culminating in a 
day where I wear garb (Spanish surcoat, etc.) and talk about stuff SCAdian 
(sortof).

Does anyone have any good suggestions for things I can talk about for three 
40 minute periods, so the kids get an idea about what Medieval spain was 
like?  I've go so many ideas about so many things that I'm having problems 
focusing on three main "big idea" subjects.  Remember, I'm teaching 6th, 7th 
and 8th grade, so these need to be basic.

I would appreciate any help and suggestions you can give me.

Thanks
