Main idea: Joan of Arc was a young French peasant who led the French army to victory in the Hundred Years War.

Then students took their own notes throughout the lesson. Important points to consider:

• Born in Doremey, France in 1412.
• Believed she was visited by God with visions on how to lead the people of France to victory 
• led successful military campaigns and which lead to Charles VII being crowned King of France.
• captured and tried as a heretic by the English. She was burned at the stake. She was never allowed to confess and was possibly poisoned during her time in prison. She was 19 when she died.
• She was originally charged with 70 crimes, including wearing men's clothing. 
• She couldn't read or write.
• 25 years after her death, the pope declared her innocent.
