This website
was created by Mrs. Sunda’s fourth and fifth grade
students. Even though they are in the fourth and fifth grades, they cover a lot
of information. They have several links going to different subjects concerning
with the Middle Ages such as “Becoming a Knights”, “Clothing”, “Food and
Feasts”, “Weapons”, “Castles”, “Monks”, “cathedrals”, “Nuns”, “The Crusades”,
etc. One would be surprised to see how
much information those fourth and fifth graders can cover, and by reading this
webpage, one can learn a lot about the Middle Ages in

This website describes about the life of someone living in the Middle Ages. They describe the feudal system, and how the “king grants, or “fiefs”, to his most important nobles, his barons, and his bishops in return for their contributions of soldiers”. It also talk about living in a village in a manor. This site is nice, because the writer is short and blunt; it is very easy to find the information you are looking for instead of having to read the entire article so that you have to pick and choose the information you want to use. Like my previous website, this site also has links to other educational articles that discuss topics such as “religion”, “homes”, “arts and entertainment”, “town life”, “health”, and even more. The article that I liked the most was the one written about health. The writer made some interesting points such as writing “as populations of medieval towns and cities increased, hygienic conditions worsened…”

This website describes the art of the Middle Ages. It is nice, because at the top it says that it was last updated in September of 2004, which tells me that this website writer is dedicated to his work and that this website has credible information (not that the information discussed is recent). Like my other two website, this site includes links to other articles that have t do with art in the Middle Ages. Some links are titled: “Early Christian”, “Byzantine”, “Islamic”, “Early medieval”, “Romanesque”, “Gothic”, and many more. Not only does this website inform its readers about the art in the Middle Ages, it also discusses the art in other earlier time periods such as Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, and Ancient Rome as well. It even goes on to continue to discuss the art in the nineteenth century, twentieth century, and twenty-first century. Overall, this is a very informative website on the history of art-something that most informative websites don’t discuss at all.
