Following in this tradition, Macaulay created other books-including City, Castle, Pyramid, Mill, Underground, Unbuilding, and Mosque-that have provided the explanations of the how and the why in a way that is both accessible and entertaining. He published his first book, Cathedral, in 1973. After working as an interior designer, a junior high school teacher, and a teacher at RISD, Macaulay began to experiment with creating books. After spending his fifth year at RISD in Rome on the European Honors Program, he received a bachelor’s degree in architecture and vowed never to practice. During this time he began to draw seriously, and after graduating from high school he enrolled in the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). He found himself having to adjust from an idyllic English childhood to life in a fast paced American city. This is a Word document that can be modified for your needs if you wish.David Macaulay, born in 1946, was eleven when his parents moved from England to Bloomfield, New Jersey. This keeps them even more focused! Answers provided. I allow them to take notes during the documentary that they can use on the quiz. Students watch the video in two parts and to keep them focused I have created a quiz to give after each part. This is a 22-question multiple choice quiz that I give after watching the one-hour documentary.
I recommend searching “David MacCaulay castles” on Google to learn about the book he wrote and for access to the video. The video is also a highly interesting and focused look at life in the Middle Ages for your students.
I have found the animated and historical documentary he created on castles to be a wonderful addition to the study of the Middle Ages in Grades 5-8. Many are available to purchase through PBS and all of them are easy to locate on YouTube. David Macaulay is a renowned author and illustrator (The Way Things Work) who over the years has produced a series of very engaging educational films on the history of pyramids, castles, cathedrals, and other places.
