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
