A pinch of reading, a dash of writing, and a touch of mathematics spice up these instructional units related to the Medieval era and designed for grades 5-9. The main ingredient may be the visual arts but students get a taste of everything. Students get a chance to gobble up the Medieval era through short history lessons, extended art projects with step-by-step instructions, valuable critiques, and word puzzles. Each unit contains reproducible materials that have been kid-tested and are teacher-approved. Inside is a recipe for a main course that allows flexibility for any classroom teacher or home school facilitator to flavor to taste.
