Day 25: Catch Up Day! (10/8/12)

Do Now: Do Not Open Laptops. Carefully transfer exam answers to the new bubble sheet.

• Test A = Version 1
• Test B = Version 2

Task 2: Once your exam is finished, you may open your laptop and complete the weekend homework. If you filled out the form last night, I added two questions this morning. Please answer those questions now. They will help me to see what Digital Literacy skills you have learned from me since the beginning of the year.

Step 3: Medieval Treasure Hunt!!

After finishing Rome, we are finally headed into the Medieval times. It's full of heroes and villains, war, religion and disease! 

You are going to go on a Medieval Treasure Hunt. Use the powerful tool at your fingertips -- the Internet! -- to find descriptions, pictures and videos related to the key terms listed below. 

You do not need to find something for every term. Let the treasures you find determine how and what you present. This is an opportunity to spend time on what interests you.

You can present your findings as a Google Document. Don't forget to list your sources. Good luck!

Key terms:

• feudalism, lord, knight, vassal, peasant, serf
• Bubonic Plague
• Crusades
• Joan of Arch
• Magna Carta
• Roman Catholic
• Eastern Orthodox
• Great Schism
• Justinian's Code
• Charlemagne
• William the Conqueror
• Battle of Hastings

*Note: Please use headphones if you are working with videos.

HOMEWORK: First, complete the following worksheet defining key terms we will need to survive the new District: Medieval Europe. Then, watch this video on Feudalism. The final questions on the worksheet come from the video.
