Making Curriculum Pop

If you're teaching the Middle Ages you'd be crazy to not use Terry Jones' (Monty Python)
Medieval Lives. Is now available in its entirety via the BBC on YouTube and available as a DVD set at Amazon. Medieval Lives is an awesome series like The Barbarians as Jones always questions established historical narratives (think a funnier and British Howard Zinn).

Because he uses a Chaucerian approach to the time period you can easily differentiate viewing by allowing students to choose a social role to explore independently that they can then share with the whole group.

Here is a breakdown of the episodes:

Great idea and Ryan would you consider changing so you are looking at me instead of off the the heavens.
KB, help me understand ? Billy Joel said that we "don't go changin'!'"
