Looking for resources to support your EAL learners in their study of the Middle Ages? Look no further! These resources have been tried-and-tested with a (very) mixed-ability class with great success. You can use the activities as alternative tasks in the mainstream classroom, or use as-is in the sheltered EAL classroom.

I searched far and wide for medieval themed materials I could use that weren’t ‘cutesy’ as I teach 6th and 7th grade. As such, the images and fonts are more suited to tweens / teens, though there’s no reason they wouldn’t appeal to younger learners – they got approval from my 9-year-old too!

Included in the pack:

• ARTICLE
• COMPREHENSION ACTIVITY STATIONS
• LINKS to additional (mostly) free resources
• EXTENSIVE TEACHING NOTES explaining how to use all the materials
• My ongoing support!

Further resources on this topic are available from this section of my store. If you prefer a collection of activities for language learners on the topic of the Middle Ages, check out this pack.
