Middle Ages: Everyday Life

By Walter A. Hazen. Being a knight in the middle ages wasn't as fun as you might think. Knights and jousts, castles and moats, the bubonic plague, and the Crusades—this book covers it all. Easy-to-read, anecdotal narratives keep students engaged, and the cross-curricular activities and puzzles that follow each chapter enhance language arts, math, and critical-thinking skills.
