Description
Hello fellow educators! This presentation is for those World History teachers who need content and investigative lessons on unsolved mysteries in Medieval History. It conforms to new state standards across the country. It contains several slides featuring recommended warm ups, brief lecture notes, and inquiry-based historical mysteries for students to choose, research and attempt to solve using the best evidence and new technologies available in the fields of history and archaeology. Examples include: Why did the Norse (Vikings) disappear? Is the "Vinland map" real? Who created the "Shroud of Turin? What caused the "Dancing Plague?" Students practice the valuable skills such as research, citation, hypothesis building and thesis development via the process of design thinking in a cooperative learning atmosphere. Please modify the lesson as needed for your needs and contact me with any questions. This lesson has been class tested and approved by students. Thank you! Owen Cegielski, M.A. History and 20-Year Veteran Teacher, currently pursuing Doctorate in Education at CU Denver
