Information
Use your textbook – use the ‘Contents Page’ near the beginning to find information – most but not all of the above chapters are covered in your textbooks.
Use the library – ask the librarians for help finding information on Medieval Life or Life in the Middle Ages.
Use the internet. You can search for ‘Medieval Life’ or the ‘Middle Ages’ but try not to spend too long searching – the sites that I suggest below are brilliant, so use them!
