Cool Infographics By WMS Students!

Here are some infographics on feudalism created by WMS students for the last project.

Weebly Site Announcement

Over the years I have searched for websites that I thought would help my students review topics or work on study guides.  After years of searching I have found many great things but nothing fits perfectly.  After much thought I decided to create my own Medieval history site that has videos, images, and content for all of the topics we will cover this year.  Here is the link check it out, hopefully it will be a useful resource for my course or for anyone else out there!  Here is a link, but there is a permanent link at the top right of my blog site.
