Session 8: Review of Early Middle Ages

Materials

  • Textbook
  • Preferred teacher resources
  • A copy for each student or overhead of Early Middle Ages map quiz (see #2, below)

Instructional Activities

  1. Review the content from the previous session.

  2. Distribute to students or put on the overhead a map quiz of Europe with various places identified only with a number. Ask students to provide the name of the place on their own paper. Depending on the level of the students, you may or may not want to provide a word bank to choose from. After all papers are turned in, review the correct names of the places with the class.

  3. Conduct a review of vocabulary and concepts from the unit. One way to do this is to pair up students and ask them to create a ten-question quiz that includes several types of questions on the Early Middle Ages. For example, some true/false, multiple choice, fill in the blank, matching, and one essay. Students may use their text, notes, worksheets and other readings to develop their quiz. They should NOT put the answers on the paper.

  4. When a pair is finished, instruct them to switch their paper with another pair and have them answer the other pair’s questions. Return papers to the original pair for checking.

  5. Homework should be to study for the Early Middle Ages test, scheduled for Session 9.
