Everything You Need To Know About the Middle Ages | Medieval Times

This is my most requested homeschool video! So I hope it delivers. Here you'll find nearly every resource we've used or plan to use while covering our Middle Ages unit. You can find details of the books and other resources we've used as well as the vendors I purchase material from on my website on the blog post that accompanies this video.

When putting together a history unit, I look for books/resources in the following topic areas:
History (famous people, timeline history, historical events)
Biographies (picture books work great for biographies)
Geography (a single atlas book does fine)
Historical fiction (a great way to get your history/culture in a fun book)
Culture/food/clothing (cook up a dish from the time period)
Audio books/songs (music from the time period is fun to listen to)
Projects/Activities (pre-made kits are a go-to staple around here)
Games (Professor Noggins are our favorite)
Workbooks (use sparingly or skip and do narrations)
Picture books (surprisingly informative & fun)
Activity and project books (Lauri Carlson has several)
Science/math (adding other subjects rounds out your unit)

Two more things I use for lesson planning are full back Post-its sticky pads and a pencil. I write notes about each book/resource on the sticky pad and stick it on the front cover of the book for easy lesson planning. This helps the next time I do a unit since I may not use all the same materials.

The majority of the books and projects were purchased from

The majority of the handwork material was purchased from
