I like what I see with the Medieval Society web pages.  Teams are doing a great job gathering information and putting it together in an organized and interesting format.  A couple of points of emphasis:

• Pictures -- a good site has well placed pictures and graphics.
• Font -- Is your font readable?
• Source list -- Do you have a variety of resources for each page?  Six sources per page would be a minimum.
• Is your site easy to navigate?

Today, we are working the role of the Medieval Church, There are four main topics that we will focus on.  Please break choose a topic in your group to research.  Then  I will ask you to move around the room to complete tasks related to your topic.  You will need your notebook, laptop, earbuds, and a writing device.

The topics are 

1 The Spread of Christianity

2 Church Role in Daily Life

3 The Pope, Politics and Power

4 Monks and monasteries.

The task directions are found here.

I really like what I am seeing on you projects.  This week the journey continues.  Be forewarned that I reserve the right to ask questions about readings at any time.  It could be a quiz, it could be a game, or I could just draw a stick.

Welcome to Christendom.  Today you will be sorted into manors. as you assume your role in the simulation.  Please read the Christendom background info and post it on page 95 of your IAN.

This is going to be a lot of fun.  You will experience some challenges along the way, but you will learn a lot.

This week we will also start the work on our project.  Please keep to your timelines.
