Students will learn about how the great Roman Empire, declined. We will then review how various groups came in, took over parts of it, and created what we call the Middle Ages in Europe. As the course progresses, we learn about such people as Boudica, Attila (what a hun!), and Charlemagne. Finally, we will cover groups as the Ostrogoths, Visigoths, and Franks...oh my ! This was a time of great change in Europe (as well as parts of the Middle East ). The fact that it probably would not have been "big fun" to live back then, makes it a much more unusual and interesting time to study.
Please note that the Halloween week lesson will be taught in an appropriate outfit.
