What educators are saying
Perfect for 7th graders needing a little "kick" to pay attention and engage during a video. Sometimes History just needs to be visual!
Description
David Macaulay is a renowned author and illustrator (The Way Things Work) who over the years has produced a series of very engaging educational films on the history of pyramids, castles, cathedrals, and other places. Many are available to purchase through PBS and most of them are easy to locate on YouTube. I have found the animated and historical documentary he created on cathedrals to be a wonderful addition to the study of the Middle Ages in Grades 5-8. The film also does a masterful job of explaining the role and power of religion and cathedrals in the Middle Ages. I recommend searching “David MacCaulay cathedral” on Google to learn about the book he wrote and for access to the video.
This is a 18-question multiple choice quiz that I give after watching the one-hour documentary called “Cathedral.” Students watch the video in two parts and to keep them focused I have created a quiz to give after each part. I allow them to take notes during the documentary that they can use on the quiz. This keeps them even more focused! Answers provided. This is a Word document that can be modified for your needs if you wish.
