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.
