The Pack contains associated resources for the learning experience, typically in the form of articles and videos. There is a teacher Pack (with only teacher information) and a student Pack (which contains only student information). As a teacher, you can toggle between both to see everything.
Here are the teacher pack items for The Spread of Christianity:
Overview In this experience, students study the spread of Christianity in both the East and the West. First, they follow its spread through the pagan remnants of the Roman Empire and formerly barbarian lands. Next, they examine the growth and continuation of Christianity in the Eastern Roman—Byzantine—Empire. Then, they explain the reasons for the split between the two major branches of Christianity. Finally, they research and report on the impact of Christianity’s spread. Students will work together in small groups in scene 5. Objectives
Christianity is the world’s largest religion. Have you ever wondered how it got that way? How did it spread from its origins throughout the world? In this experience, you will trace the spread of early Christianity through Europe and the Middle East.
