Today’s printables in my series 5 Days of Learning Printables: The World of Columbus and Sons
Day 2 For Middle and High School are from Part I. When Columbus Was a Boy (1451 – 1474). Also, look at my page homeschool middle school and how to homeschool high school page for more fun tips
They are from Lesson 1.
The first minibook is about everyday life in the middle ages.
Helping your middle or high school student to understand the importance of the English sea ports to everyday life in the middle ages helps to build a background of things that Columbus would have been familiar with as a boy.

The other two printables are notebooking pages WITH answers thank you.
When I can, you know I always like to include answers because sometimes in high school you just don’t have time to do all the research and need to understand the background information and go on with reading the book.
You decide whether you want the pages to be part of your highschooler’s research or not. The first page is about the fall of Constantinople.
I found it more enjoyable in going over this with Mr. Senior 2013 to help him make the connection to modern day.
Understanding that Constantinople is modern day Istanbul, Turkey and reading some about the modern day city helped him to appreciate the rich history. It doesn’t stay dry dead boring history when you make a connection to modern day.
The other printable is about Johannes Gutenberg and the printing press which was another contribution during the life of Columbus, which no doubt Columbus would have probably found fascinating.
