The Early Middle Ages

Last week in Social Studies, the 6th graders learned about the early Middle Ages.  We started with a lesson about the geography of Europe.  Then, students learned about the lives of monks and missionaries and their impact of society.  The students watched a documentary about modern day monks on Mt. Athos in Greece, who live very similarly to how they did in medieval times.  
This week, students learned about feudalism in Europe.  They each played a role in a simulation where we acted out the parts that each member of the system played in society.  They will take their test about the Early Middle Ages on Friday.

Questions to ask your 6th grader:
-Tell me about the monks of Mt. Athos.
-What part did you play in the feudalism simulation?
-Who do you think benefitted most from feudalism?
