May 10-12 Quiz Conferences and Power of the Catholic Church

Medieval Times ELO 2 - I can analyze how and why the Catholic church had a large impact on Medieval Europe

Over the last three days, students have applied their knowledge to an assessment on Feudalism, check their quiz during a student/teacher conference, and started learning about the next learning outcome.  Students earned high marks on their Feudalism assessment, however, some will need to retake.  To learn about the power of the Catholic church students took notes through a PowerPoint and filled out a graphic organizer related to the jobs of monks and nuns in Medieval times.

May 8 & 9 - Protecting the Manor

Over the last two days students focused on understanding the purpose of Feudalism.  Students learned about the knights and their weapons/armor.  Students discussed and took notes on the Magna Carta, one of the most important documents in the history of the world.  The document gave rights to the nobles and limited the kings power.  Lastly, students worked on their study guides to understand the relationship between kings, lords, knights and serfs during the Middle Ages. Students will be quizzed over their understanding of the Feudal system.
