Here is another FREE Lesson plan.  If you are studying Medieval Times, this is a fun way to learn about Pages and Squires.



This is the first lesson in a series of “Medieval Employment" lesson plans. In this lesson plan, students will learn about the medieval jobs of Pages and Squires. The lesson plan includes a short “lecture;” a job application; activity suggestions (specifically training to be a page and squire); a review worksheet; plus movie and book suggestions. 

All future “Medieval Employment” lessons will contain the same basic format. 

Please NOTE! This lesson also appears in the "Medieval Careers in Medieval Times Volume 1" which is a bundle including six other medieval careers lesson plans.

Learn by Doing

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO LEARN? 

Students generally retain information longer if it is accompanied by hands-on activities!  If you are learning how to play the guitar - you need a guitar!  If you want to learn how to edit a movie - you better get some editing software!  Reading the manual will not suffice - you need to give it a try!

When you are teaching your kiddos something a little academic, what can you do to add some hands-on learning?  The following is a list of general activities that can be adapted to any (or many) subjects:

* Write a Newspaper Article

* Watch a Movie 

* Role-Playing

* Play Bingo to Learn Vocabulary Words

* Listen to Music from a Specific Era

* Build a Structure 

* Create a Diorama

* Answer a Writing Prompt

* Create a Historical Journal

* Write a Poem

* Cook Some Food - From a Region or Time Period

* Make a Collage

* Use Pretzels, Crackers, M & Ms or Jelly Beans as Counters

* Conduct an Experiment

* Plant a Garden

* Tell a Joke

* Make a Costume

* Write a Book

* Draw a Picture

* Re-enact a Battle

* Create a Board Game

* Map Your Room or Town

* Go On a Scavenger Hunt

* Start a Collection

* Run a Race
