Project Group Work Pt.2

In class on Thursday, we continued to work on our Greek projects. We decided that this weekend we will cook the baklava, pita bread, and spanakopita. During class, we discussed how we were going to present our project and what ingredients and supplies we needed to get from the store. We will present our project by passing out the food, and then start to read off of a google slide. We will also explain the process that went into cooking the food and provide pictures of the process. The google slide will have the history on spanakopita, pita bread, and baklava. On Monday, we should be prepared to present our foods and google slide.

Review For Test and Crusades Powerpoint

In class today, we took notes on the Crusades and reviewed for our upcoming test on Friday.

The holy land was a small area on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea known as Jerusalem, it was sacred to the Christians because Jesus was said to have lived and taught there.

Powerpoint Notes on Charlemagne

By 511, the Franks and Church are united in one kingdom w/ Clovis and the church working as partners. The spread of christianity occurred because of the Church and Frankish rulers, in 520, Benedict writes rulers for monks such as vows of poverty, Chasity, and obedience. His sister Scholastica wrote similar rules for nuns. Pope Gregory the first or Gregory the Great went secular (worldly power) by making sure the church revenues were used to help the poor, build roads, and raise armies (an theocracy). Clovis' descendants included Charles Martel who defeated a muslim raiding party from Spain at the Battle of Tours in 732. Charles Martel's son, Pepin the Short who worked with the church and...

Middle Ages Test

In class today, I made up my Middle Ages test I missed from last week. The test was pretty easy and I ended up getting a 97 on it. Later on, we all took notes on the Renaissance in Europe. Renaissance means rebirth of learning and culture. The artists in these cities were inspired by the Romans and Greeks.  Merchants dominated politics and t he Medici were a powerful banking family. They paid artists, writers, and musicians to create beautiful works of art, t hey were patrons. In the Renaissance time period, classical writings were important to them, worldly (secular) values were essential, and christian values were still important, but separate from secular values.
