The teacher shows the students a video presenting facts about sleeping and dreaming. The students watch it once. Then the teacher divides them in pairs or in groups and presents the task to the groups: “You will watch the same video again, pay attention to the facts and try to remember as many as you can, at least 5. Then, each group will write what you have remembered. You can’t write while the video is running.” The students have 5 minutes to fulfill the task, after that the groups share what they have written. The group who has written more facts than the other groups is the winner.

Students work in pairs or in groups, depending on the number of students and computers in class.
It has 3 parts:
1. Knight Armour – the students have to connect the words to the armour pieces
2. Knight Tournaments – students answer questions about knights

There is a map. A student (for each crusade a different student) has to point the starting point of the first crusade and follow the route until the end. Then the class discusses the crusade in terms of aims, planning, choice of route, strategies, consequences and results. The same is done with the other 8 crusades.

The class is divided into 6 groups. Three of the groups will deal with the morphological signs of the 3 races and the other three groups – with the physiological signs. Each group uses a computer with an Internet connection to find out the signs they are allotted. The teacher specifies the time the students may have. Then each group presents what they have found out.
