The Middle Ages {in 3 1/2 minutes}


We are currently finishing up our study of the Middle Ages in WHAP. One of the most challenging elements of teaching world history is to take extremely complicated events/causes/comparisons, and break the concepts down to something more understandable and relate-able.  It is especially tricky to do this without simply being reductionist, without true analysis.
All of that being said, sometimes a video using art and animation can accomplish this very feat.
 I recently came across this video.
 It. Is. Amazing.
