CRUSADES!!

Thanks for being AWESOME while I was out yesterday!  You have no idea how much my sanity appreciates it!  If you were out yesterday, please read p. 364-369 in your book. Complete the Vocab section on p. 364 and p. 369 (3-8) as assignment #13.  I will check it in your binder check for March. 

TODAY!  

We are going through Crusades: The Crescent and the Cross. If you missed today, there's (^^^^^^^^) the link to the same documentary we watched in class and HERE'S the study guide that goes with it.  Today, we made it to approximately the 36 minute mark and number 8 on the handout.  Please take the time to get yourself caught up.  This will be Assignment #14.

I have NOT gotten many Crusades Maps - GET THOSE TO ME ASAP!  They were due Friday!

Excuse my insanity, let me know if you have any questions!

A Call to Crusades!

Friday!  TGIF!  Happy Valentine's Day!  

Today we worked in groups on Pope Urban II's Speech to rally the Christians against the "evil demons" of Islam.  If you missed class, please read through that Speech HERE!  While reading through it, use this line by line guide to help you understand the Propaganda involved in this message.  Remember, the Pope was offering them FULL immunity upon knocking at Heaven's gate. After you have analyzed it line by line, complete the SOAPS analysis to be sure you understand where Urban II was coming from.  This is assignment #12 in your table of Contents.

Enjoy your weekend!  Be beautiful!

The Crusades Begin - A Map to Guide Your Journey

Tomorrow we start talking about the Crusades.  These Crusades LITERALLY changed the world FOREVER!  It would be rude of me to send you out on such a journey without a map, so if you missed class today, here it is.

Print it out and get moving!  It is due FRIDAY!!!  
Here are the maps from the atlases in the classroom.

PS - Don't forget Binder Checks are also on Friday!!  Be a Sweet Heart and not a Sour Patch Kid, and get it into me!!
