The Middle Ages are a time period I have been fascinated with for some time. It was a time when so many of our modern tools were developed and when the line between poverty and royalty was drawn deeply. The Middle Ages were a dark time, but were also a time when humans learned about things such as using metal, sanitation and more. We created important inventions such as metal plows and water mills. If you are putting together a Middle Ages lesson plan, here are some Middle Ages unit study resources.
