SOME EDUCATIONAL INFORMATION ...

Our blog aims to address various aspects related to the figure of woman in medieval times, in particular, we focus not only on its more historical and social factors but also on the role of women in literary and artistic production of that period.
The choice of the title comes from this: the woman, witch in history, becomes angel in poetry and pictorial representation.
Since the Middle Ages, a historical period examined during the second year of secondary school studies in a Grade II, we turn our attention mainly to the students who attend the classes. Through the "navigation" and guided reflection, it will be possible for them to make comparisons between different disciplines (history, Italian art), managing to gain a sufficiently broad subject matter.
To stimulate this process as independently as possible, it was decided to propose a short bibliography (with texts related to different types in terms of stylistic and thematic) and an interesting filmography: in this way the students, according to their personal interests, may decide to expand their knowledge.
For the same purpose, each text was accompanied by a number of links, and students can use to investigate issues that they care most about.

At first it will ask the class to reflect on the "Life of women in the Middle Ages", focusing on certain aspects:
- fashion
- work
- the woman seen by clerics
- the role of women in society and its education
- the portrait of a great woman: Joan of Arc

We ask students to draw some observations relating to particular elements, suggested by us.
As for the card on fashion, inviting the children to compare the typical dress of the medieval era with that of other times they known, more generally, we ask them to establish a broad comparison between the condition of Women in the Middle Ages and the status of women in vintage greek-roman.
As regards, however, the figure of Joan of Arc (read in parallel with the track dedicated to "Charmed"), students will be guided to reflect on the following question: can we consider Joan of Arc a witch? Why?
The combination of written text, text, illustrations and musical contribution will foster a dynamic and interactive learning mode.

Later, the class will be invited to consider carefully the role of women proposed by the literature: one part will be offered a number of short texts for courtly literature, the other looking at the female figures present in the works of Dante, Petrarch and Boccaccio.
After reading the lyrics proposals, we will ask the students to detect significant differences that characterize the presence of women in the production of each author, using the following guide:
- The description of the woman he loved, he prefers the ' physical or spiritual?
- The love for the woman lived in a haunted?
- What are the effects that the beloved in the life of the poet?
- The woman reciprocates the love?
- What issues are typical of the literary currents of the Middle Ages, are present in compositions?

To answer these questions students will have to bring some significant ways, learning to work on the text.

It was decided then to add to the picture on the literary figures of starting a "trobairiz"
The "poetry of women, however, are not accompanied by analysis and commentary to encourage students to reflect and draw of his claim to be, then, to be compared in class.
Under the label "The trobairitz" is placed on the track to tasks Donzella, Florentine poet that can not be counted among the Troubadours but in this case, is placed among the Provencal poets as Italian counterpart.

addition, a section of the blog is devoted to an analysis of an artistic nature.
The images are not only related to the medieval period, but cover a longer span of time, up to the first half of the twentieth century.
Given the breadth of the information provided, we ask children to work autonomously and a summary to create a concept map.
You can then initiate an interdisciplinary work in which we examine in parallel the "Rooms" police and "Spring" by Botticelli.

To complete the picture, it was decided to propose some bios on the figure of some saint who lived during the Middle Ages: S. Chiara, S. Rita S. Catherine.

On completion of the work pupils should have acquired a greater familiarity with the tools offered by the "network", contributing ideas and suggestions for enlargement of the same blog.
