Is your student curious about the Crusades–what they were about and the men that were considered the heroes of this time in history? Not a unit study, this digital collection of stories provides an interesting perspective of the days of knights and chivalry, religious conflict, and a turbulent time in world history for your 8th – 12th grade student.
