Contributions of the Smaller Kingdoms

I know that this is a big file and yes I could have put more activities in but you don't need to wait all day for a download. I discovered that movie clips are way for students to investigate for more information. So, I put in EXPLORE buttons and EXIT buttons to see information not on the page. It adds interest but easy to confuse the user. I also added movie clips that don't have the EXPLORE buttons and EXIT buttons - On these it's the Start - Back - Begin buttons. On the menu page if you see a two after the culture then there's 2 pages. I put a timeline on each culture so when they appear and end there is bar that flashes (might be annoying), but lets students know when show up in history. I dusted off some old junk from previous programs (like the clay song and gave it a new twist.)

Knights at the Height of the Medieval Times
Knights at the Height of the Middle Ages - Knights At The Height Of The Middle Ages
Go back in time to see how knights lived in the Middle ages. Program includes comparing the Knight and the Samurai. I included in the behind the scenes from the DVD - A Knight's Tale is a 2001 medieval adventure comedy-drama film written, produced, and directed by Brian Helgeland. The film stars were Heath Ledger, Shannyn 

Sossamon, Mark Addy, Alan Tudyk, Rufus Sewell, and Paul Bettany as Geoffrey Chaucer, and James Purefoy as Sir Thomas Colville - Edward, the Black Prince. Told in an anachronistic style with many modern references, the film follows a peasant who is pretending to be a knight, along with his companions, in the world of medieval jousting. William poses as a knight and competes in tournaments, winning accolades and acquiring friendships with such historical figures as Edward the Black Prince and Geoffrey Chaucer.

The film takes its title from Chaucer's :The Knight's Tale" in his Canterbury Tales,

even though the plot is not especially similar.

The Uffizi was designed by Giorgio Vasari 

in 1560 for Cosimo I de'Medici to house the Granducal 

Magistratures of Tuscany. Over time, the top floor 

loggia became an exhibition of the dynastic collection 

of ancient sculpture, artwork and artifacts.The link 

is set to go to the gallery. Be sure to get a guide 

to show you all the cool stuff when you go to Florence. 

When you see Cosimo's private pathway you will 

understand the power and money of the Medici family. 

He could avoid the crowds and potential trouble.In 

 1565, on the occasion of the marriage of his son 

Francesco to Giovanna d'Austria, Cosimo I asked 

Vasari to design a raised passageway connecting 

Palazzo Vecchio with Palazzo Pitti, the new 

residence of the family. The passage starts from

the government palace, Palazzo Vecchio, goes 

through the Uffizi, then runs parallel to the river 

above a portico and crosses over the Ponte Vecchio. 

The Corridor continues through the facade of the 

church of Santa Felicita to reach the Boboli Gardens. 

The link on the picture takes you to the second floor - 

YOU have to go to the middle room to see the best 

Botticelli works.

The Uffizi was designed by Giorgio Vasari in 1560 for Cosimo I de'Medici to house the Granducal Magistratures of Tuscany. Over time, the top floor loggia became an exhibition of the dynastic collection of ancient sculpture, artwork and artifacts.

The eastern wing of the building incorporated the ancient Florentine church of San Pier Scheraggio and the wing to the west connected with two existing buildings, the Mint and the Loggia dei Lanzi. Vasari conceived an architectural module to be repeated all along the building: a portico flanked by two pillars, with niches on the ground floor and three windows on the upper story.

In 1565, on the occasion of the marriage of his son Francesco to Giovanna d'Austria, Cosimo I asked Vasari to design a raised passageway connecting Palazzo Vecchio with Palazzo Pitti, the new residence of the family. The passage starts from the government palace, Palazzo Vecchio, goes through the Uffizi, then runs parallel to the river above a portico and crosses over the Ponte Vecchio.

Wagner and What's Opera Doc?
What's Opera Doc - What's Opera Doc
More Romantic music from the Romantic Composers. Richard Wagner and the movie clip from Warner Bros. cartoon "What's Opera Doc?"  What's Opera Doc was directed by Chuck Jones for Warner Bros. Cartoons. The Michael Maltese story features Elmer Fudd chasing Bugs Bunny through a operatic parody of 19th century classical composer Richard Wagner’s operas, particularly Der Ring des Nibelungen (The Ring of the Nibelung) and Tannhäuser.
Pretty Woman - Verdi's Opera - La travista
Verdi's Opera with Pretty Woman - Verd's Opera with Pretty Woman
Add this video clip to your study of Romantic Music and watch the opera
"La traviata" using the "Pretty Woman" movie. Sometimes opera can be interesting.
Edward (Richard Gere) leaves work early the next day and takes a breath-taking Vivian
(Julia Roberts) on a date to the opera in San Francisco in his private jet. She is clearly
moved by the opera (which is La Traviata, whose plot deals with a rich man tragically
falling in love with a courtesan).

Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody

Franz Liszt.- Hungarian Rhapsody - Franz Liszt.- Hungarian Rhapsody

More Romantic Music to add to your study of famous composers. Use the Bugs Bunny cartoon clip to play the Hungarian Rhapsody. Friz Freleng used this piece in Warner Brothers Rhapsody Rabbit, which featured Bugs Bunny as a concert pianist playing the solo piano version. This film was clearly inspired by its first use in 1929 because many of the gags are similar. However, controversy followed this short's release.

Joel Swerdlow - Assistance Editor at National Geographic poured his heart and soul in this 1997 October edition p. 100.

passers-by see only a wisp of smoke.
