What's Inside
- The Waldorf Approach to History (read a sample page)
- How to Use This Book - presentation and conversation, writing assignments, making a main lesson book (read a page)
- Key elements and dates of the Middle Ages
- Summaries - these are written by me and you can use them either as inspiration for your own summaries of work you've covered with your child or as they are. They can be copied by the student directly into her main lesson book or used as dictations. (See our Christopherus Unit Studies and Homeschoolers' Work pages for more on main lesson books.)
- Charlemagne and Haroun Al - Rashid
- How to Approach the Crusades (read a sample page)
