The Age of Chivalry - European Middle Ages (500 - 1200)

This interactive presentation provides details about the code of chivalry for knights, glorified combat, and romantic love. Chivalry has shaped modern ideas of romance in Western cultures. This presentation will also cover concepts like warriors on horseback, warriors' roles in feudal society, knighthood, war games for glory, brutal reality of warfare, literature of chivalry, epic poetry, love poems and songs, troubadours, the shifting role of women, women in power followed by women's falling status, among other things.

I've created many interactive Google Slides presentations. If you like this one, know there are many others.

You can use these in your classroom and/or post on any LMS (learning management system). I use this with Google Classroom and "give each student a copy." This allows each student to type in their answers individually. When they're finished, they simply click "TURN IN." These can also be printed off for students who prefer to hand write their answers in the boxes provided versus clicking and typing. You can also use these for direct instruction, where the students simply answer the questions through class discussion or on a piece of notebook paper. However, the best way to use these is with technology, where each student can interactively enter their answers into the presentation itself.

I spent a lot of time on each of these. They're colorful and concise. My students love them!
