The Greenleaf Guide to Famous Men of the Middle Ages

We had a lot of fun studying the Middle Ages, and this Guide and the text it accomanies were part of the reason. The Famous Men series introduces children to history through biographies of key people in the era being studied. The Guide helps the teacher take children deeper and provides helpful lists of additional resources, both for the instructor and the students. Lots of good ideas. Lots of good titles, most of which we were able to find in the library. (One of our favorites was Days of Knights & Damsels by Laurie Carlson, with fun activities and tasty recipes.) As with other Greenleaf Guides, this one is a bit more effective with older children, but can be adapted for the younger set. It worked for our family; I recommend it for yours!
