Bubonic Plague and Hundred Years War

Tuesday has come and gone. Today we participated in two experiences. The first on the topic of the Black Death and the second on the Hundred Years War. Both of these topics are not very pleasant but important to our study of the Middle Ages and in particular the end of feudalism. I will a little later two videos that we attempted to view on both subjects. Due to technical difficulties some classes were not able to view them fully. Warning! as both videos are of an unpleasant nature they have sad messages.

Tomorrow we will have a guest speaker from ND. Quiz Tip:

Study the vocabulary terms that are on the Middle Ages Focus Sheet. Study the Reading Notes that you completed yesterday in class. Study the material on pages 54 and 55 of the text book. The C level is basic knowledge, as always, and the B-A+ level contains the higher order thinking questions and is more conceptual. This quiz may be one of the toughest ones we have had so far. Be warned. They are all multiple choice and true/false but don't let that make you think they are easier.

Focus Sheet copy is on November 13 post; Text book copy is on December 14 post; Blank Reading Notes is on December 12 post. Study Stack link is on this post. These posts are on Edmodo.
