History Test Review: Last Chance to Study!!!

This pictures shows a Medieval feast.  The Lord and his lady sit

in the center.  The man to the left is cutting cheese for them. 

They used only knives, no forks or spoons at dinner. The man

with no shoes to the right is probably a monk, maybe a peasant.

He has interrupted the dinner with a petition and a begging bowl.

He may want money or some other thing the lord has promised

his people.  The young man in blue holding the small sword may

be a squire trying to protect the lord and lady.  The dogs are biting

the man with no shoes, trying to protect their lord and lady. People

in Medieval Europe kept dogs just like we do today. They were 

used for hunting, for protection and kept as pets. Many were allowed

to roam the dining hall, where they could pick up scraps that were

dropped on the floor.

Tonight, start by completing your 4 by 8 study guide. Use the notes in your journal first, then look for information in your book.  Your study guide will be collected before the test tomorrow.

Next, read the chapter summaries for each chapter.  These are short summaries of all the main points in each chapter.  You can find them on these pages: 17, 29, 41, 52, and 59.

Finally, go over the information in your journal one more time.  Make sure your journal is complete, everything in it is glued in, and that your cover looks great.  These are all part of the journal's grade.  Journals will be collected before the test tomorrow.

History - Extra Credit: Medieval Trading Cards

Create a set of four Medieval trading cards like baseball cards or the cards use for the game Magic.

To make your cards, take one piece of blank paper and divide it into four sections.  Each section will be one card.  You may do the front and the back on the same piece of paper. You can use any color.

Select four people from the list below.  You'll need to do some research on each person. Some of them are in the history book, some are not.  Use internet sources if needed.  Biography.com is a good place to start.  Wikipedia is not a good source for this project, as their entries tend to be very, very long.

How to make each card:

• Side one:
• Include the person's name.
• Include a picture of the person or something important to that person.  This could be a building the lived or worked in, an object associated with them, a symbol that represents them.
• Include a border.
• Side two:
• List three facts about the person as bullet points.
• Write a 25 cent biography of the person that describes why that person was important. You will not be able to write about their entire life, just the reason why that person is still remembered today.
• Include a border.

Points for this project will be awarded based on visible effort and historical facts included.  

You may do this project on Google Docs or by hand on paper.  You may use any types of pictures you would like, but this is part of the effort shown.

This projects is worth 5 to 20 points in the 25% category.
