All 7th grade social studies classes research various topics of what life was like during the Middle Ages in: Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. Students write an extensive research paper and then get into groups with other students who have similar topics to create an outdoor exhibit where students demonstrate their knowledge of their topics.
The culminating activity is called “A Walk Through the Middle Ages” where students from various elementary schools will visit the living history exhibits at La Colina. |

"The 2012 Walk Through the Middle Ages was amazing!! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for all your efforts! It is unbelievable to me that a public school has an event like this one. It rivals anything I have ever seen at the private schools. It is a brilliant concept from start to finish. The students learn so many lessons every step of the way and it is FUN. They learn how to do research, they are asked to write a challenging paper, they learn how to work in groups, they become artists and performers, they teach and engage our community, and perhaps most importantly they learn the rewards and joy of hard work and commitment. It was amazing to be a part of this process at home and at school. Watching 3 boys rehearse at my house and their genuine excitement about creating their scene was a highlight for me as a parent. I only wish every school assignment looked like this one. Congratulations on yet another phenomenal Walk Through the Middle Ages!"
