![]() ![]() “Roller Skating Fiasco,” a memoir by author David Mike Pick a card, any card! Students chose “blindly” from these cards and then did some quick research to present their “One-Minute Middle Ages” talks. Kids seemed to like the informal nature of it, and it broadened their knowledge of the medieval ages. I will definitely use this activity again. I allowed students to use Wikipedia for the sleuthing needed for these informal mini-presentations I feel Wikipedia is sufficient for introductory research. I liked how the videos introduced these topics, and then the students delved deeper into them in these short talks. ![]() Nearly all of the topics were mentioned in both videos listed above. Topics included the Black Death, chivalry, Boccacio’s Decameron, alchemy, the Hundred Years War, and others. On each card was a topic for them to quickly research online and then present to the class in a brief presentation. ![]()
