= = =Wars of Religion Part II=

The following is due on Monday/Tuesday -depending on what day your first class falls on.

Imagine you are a journalist (a reporter) living in France during the late 16th century. Suddenly a riot breaks out and complete mayhem is unleashed before your eyes. You have never witnessed such brutality. **__The French Wars of Religion__** have reached the streets of Paris, France; your streets. Now you must report on what you have witnessed. Using all your courage, piece together a brief report for a journal you plan on publishing. You may use newspaper style reporting, images, cartoons and/or caricatures. Have fun with this! You can use any medium for your presentation. It can be on simple paper, an electronic presentation like PowerPoint or even a drawing on colored paper. You decide -it's your journal!

All work handed in on time receives a minimum of 70% and a maximum 100%.

=Understanding Maps=

a) draw or print a map of the Mediterranean Sea which includes North Africa, Turkey, Italy and Spain. b) locate Jerusalem, Israel, Cairo, Egypt and Cordoba, Spain on your map c) imagine you are a famous architect living in Jerusalem during the 10th century. You have been commissioned (hired) to design and build a new mosque in Cordoba, Spain. Now show (draw on your map) what path you would take to get from your home to your building site. Since you are literate, you will write a brief journal describing what you encountered along your journey. You might want to write about what languages you had to speak and what the terrain was like. d) now do the same thing but imagine you were doing it in the present.
 * Task to be done on your own so sit alone for now.**

(already completed in class) Essential Questions:

After you have either viewed the PowerPoint presentation, played the strategy games or built your castle, write a brief narrative or persuasive essay explaining what life must have been like during the Dark Ages. This is the period after the fall of the Roman Empire and before the Renaissance also known as the Medieval era. You may use the below questions to help you. Or, if you feel that you do not have the time to write an essay for full marks, go to the discussion tab and participate there.

1)Why did Europeans build castles and forts?

2)How do you think rulers felt when they won or lost territory?

3)What motivated them to expand?

4)What allowed for their success or failure in this cause?
