This lesson includes:
An introduction that the students will be studying the Crusades. 
A discussion of why Jerusalem was so important using maps on the board as hints.
There is an optional activity to watch a video and complete the timeline. This depends on how much time you want to dedicate to the topic of Jerusalem.
A final task to study some information and write why Jerusalem was important to the three major religions. This activity leads nicely into the Crusades course.
