Welcome to the Medieval Times

Ancient Rome is over. The Wax Museum is over. Now what are we going to do? I know exactly what we are going to do: Learn about the intriguing world of the Medieval Times. In our last "big" unit of the school year in ancient civilization, we will be learning about a time period in history that is not all that long ago compared with Mesopotamia and Egypt. The Medieval Times, often referred to as the "Middle Ages," takes place roughly 1000 years ago. In this unit, we will be covering a plethora of interesting topics. You will see very quickly, this unit, as our grand finale, will be one to remember. For this blog post, as we typically do whenever we start a unit, you need to search the Medieval Times Links that I have posted for you and tell me something you have learned. How many items? Well, since there is a lot of cool stuff, please tell me 3 facts you learned will searching the websites. Good Luck!
Task: Search the websites I have found for you and post a comment with 3 facts you learned.
Points: 20
DUE: April 22nd, 2010
