We are finishing up our study of the Anglo-Saxon period and moving on to the Medieval Period.
Here is a Medieval Period PowerPoint Presentation I would like you to read and annotate in preparation for our reading of The Canterbury Tales.
Essential Question: The Norman Conquest ushered in the advent of the Medieval period in England. What social, political, and religious changes occurred through the fusion of Norman and Anglo-Saxon culture and behavior? What systems, behaviors, or traditions were created in the Medieval period that still exist in some form in our modern day world?
Please do the following:
1) Read each slide carefully, and take notes, in the Cornell style, of all the important information you find.
2) Your notes must be organized and clear, and must use some system of highlighting to emphasize important terms, people, or events.
3) After you have finished taking notes, review them and at appropriate intervals in the left column of your notes, write several quality questions that address historical events or concepts. (These questions should not be the "Who was William the Conqueror" variety--or questions which can be answered by a single fact. Instead you might ask, "What impact did the invasion of the Normans have on Anglo-Saxon government?"
You will have until Wednesday, November 18 to complete this assignment.
