Hundred Years' War Joan of Arc Informational Reading & Inquiry Based Activities

Need a no-prep way to introduce the Hundred Years' War that practices the Inquiry Based Learning Format? This Informational reading on the era starting at 1337s C.E. on the topic is a great way to introduce this significant era in history while addressing Inquiry standards in your classroom. And it wraps up the lesson with an incredible project rubric that is sure to help guide your students in showing all they have learned in the lesson!

In this reading, research, and inquiry activity, students will investigate the significant era in history using suggested links (or your own resources) and inquiry-based prompts to help them better process the information they collect. Research will help students to make conclusions and to examine the era's significance for a cumulative project.

The Project Rubric provides a lengthy listing of project options from which students can choose to best show their understanding of the research they collect.

Follow the Inquiry-Based Project with activities that help to reinforce the content and practice vital Social Studies skills like mapping, timelining for cause and effect, comparison of multiple perspectives, content organization, and more. There are 8 activities included. You could pick and choose or utilize all activities for a complete unit study.
