Middle Ages Literature

A Charlotte Mason-Inspired Online Literature Course for Teens
with a focus on  

British Literature of the Middle Ages​





​

Description:



Middle Ages Literature is a Charlotte Mason-inspired online literature course for middle-to-high school students in which British literature of (and themes regarding) the Middle Ages will be read and discussed.  A variety of plays (early drama), novels, and poetry will be included in the course, as well as readings covering Arthurian mythology and selections illuminating the history of literature in England during the Middle Ages period.

​

Presented by CM Live! the class will meet live (online) once weekly for instructor-facilitated discussions of the assigned readings.  Online discussion forums will be available in between live class meetings for the purpose of encouraging additional peer-to-peer interactions regarding the assigned readings.



The goal of the class is to provide an engaging, guided format for students to share their thoughts and insights with the instructor and peers regarding the assigned readings. The course qualifies for a high school level British Literature credit.



While primarily a discussion group, this course requires some writing in the form of a weekly online narration (ala Charlotte Mason) kept in the student's online journal. The Home Teacher is welcome to add writing assignments (narration, essay, think pieces) for their student as is conducive to their home schooling goals. However, this is not required. The Online Instructor will offer other writing opportunities in the form of essays and internet challenges, as well as fun craft or food-oriented projects, for those interested in pursuing further, their study of the Middle Ages. This course includes a project in the fall which involves a multi-media presentation for the class. 



Prerequisites & Requirements:


Students should be reading independently at a middle-to-high school level. Students should be able to type so that they can participate in the live chat and online journal portions of the class. (Audio-to-audio may also be made available as lessons plans permit.)
