Overview of the European Crusades Lesson

In this lesson, students will learn about the lesser-known Crusades that took place within Europe, including their origins, key events, and the impact they had on the religious and political landscape of the time. They will explore how these campaigns against paganism, heresy, and the Ottoman Empire shaped the medieval European world. Students will have the opportunity to achieve this through choosing their own method of learning, from reading and research options, as well as the chance to engage in extension activities. This lesson includes a self-marking quiz for students to demonstrate their learning.
