MIDDLE  AGES

Medieval History  This site is awesome.  We can thank Melissa Snell for all of the goodies that are found here.  It has almost everything on the topic that you could possibly want or need; in fact it is where I found the clip art that you see above.

Castles Thanks to Laura & Rob Dowling for this great site.  The following excerpt  is taken from the introduction; "Hi! I'm Sir Learnalot, and I will be your guide as we start our journey into the world of castles.  Come explore with me as we take a look at the fascinating lives of knights and ladies fair. Come learn about everything from moats to drawbridges, and mutton to mead!" Sounds like fun, doesn't it?

Daily Life: Food, Manners and Costumes Many annotated sites on the topic of daily life.

Medieval Studies This site was created by college students so some of the content is a fairly high reading level but it has many links and pictures that can help you in your research.

Life of a Medieval Knight  This is a webquest which students will use  to find out how a knight lived in the medieval times.  Tasks include answering questions to where he eats, where he sleeps, what kind of clothes he wears, and what his job is.

Knights of Medieval Europe and their Armor    This webquest encourages students to design their own armor.
