Battles that Changed History: Agincourt

Disclaimer: (ENGLISH NOT BRITISH) Furthermore, I should have stated that some of the story (with dubious evidence) was added to make it more interesting for the crowd. The cutting off of fingers etc. was most likely a modern addition but it captures the attention of younger students. There is also always going to be a discussion as to the real effectiveness of the longbow versus plate armor. The English won this battle so their view might be given more credence. The 9th Grade Excel class elective studied the Battle of Agincourt. We discussed the knight, chivalry, the causes of the 100 Year's War, and the impact of the longbow before we talked about this battle. Fun fact, I went home and found I had a temperature of 103. Thought I was a bit off--but we persevere. Any mistakes I made can now be blamed on illness. A random student even makes a Monty Python reference at the end. The students wanted to vote on the last battle but I say...I am not sure which one yet. Also, I apologize for referring to the English as British. That would not be the case until the 1700s. In my defense, I was teaching about 18th century Great Britain in another class at the time and it just happened.
