[LM_NET] HIT: videos on middle ages for secondary level

[Deborah Stafford <deborah.stafford@T-ONLINE.DE>]

My question concernd videos on the middle ages focused for high school. I
had also asked about a series available from schlessinger (sp?) in
particular a set with serf, noble, merchant etc. But they are listed as 4 -
8.
The focus audience is 9th grade world history honors as well as regular.
I did get some websites. However, the teacher has websites, he really wants
some videos.

We ordered several of the Schlessinger (sp?) titles and found a few History
Channel titles.

The replies
My sixth grade teachers use the ones you are talking about and they love
them.  If that helps.

I like the David Macaulay videos "Cathedral" and "Castle" as well as Terry
Jones' "Crusades." I think they are all available from Follett or Library
Video.

2)  I don't know if this is the type of thing that you are looking for, but
you might consider purchasing the video Cities of Light: The Rise and Fall
of Islamic Spain.  I recently watched this on PBS and thought that it was
EXCELLENT.  I have recomended it to our History Dept. for purchase. More
info. here:
