Take a look at the religions map from U.C. Davis Sites of Encounter in the Medieval World website. (Use this link)
Use the key to figure out which religions were practiced in each part of the world.
Which religion covers the largest part of the world? Doe that mean it had the greatest number of people practicing it?
How does this map help answer the question "How did the distant regions of the world become more interconnected through the Medieval and early modern period?"
Hint: Use the States in 1279 and States in 1491 to see which nations and kingdoms existed in the area covered by each religion.

Do Now! Sites of Encounter #1
Take a look at this map from U.C. Davis showing sites of encounter in the Medieval world. This is the base map. Go ahead and take a look at the different overlays you can apply to the base map.
Now, choose the Afro-Euroasian Trade Circles map. Select different trade circles to read more about them.
In your spiral, make a list of different methods of transportation that were used during the Medieval period. Divide your list into two sections: overland and water.
After you have looked at all nine (I through IX) and completed your list answer the following question in complete sentences:
How did travel and trade help to connect different regions of the world during the Medieval period?

Welcome to 2018/2019
Welcome to Mr. Chester's class.
This blog is the place to look for assignments, directions, extra help, and even extra credit now and then.
I'll be setting up tabs at the top of this page for more information about English and history along with more information about me and my classes.
For now here's a brief update about homework.
Students in my English classes have two assignments. First they need to compete the Language of the Discipline packets we began in class today. To complete this they may want to use the Batman comic book so I have included the pictures at the bottom of this post.
Second, they all need to find a book for Reading Races. I will talk more about Reading Races in class on Monday. We will have Reading Race time at the start of each English day so everyone needs a book by Monday. This may be any book, fiction or non-fiction.
Currently, there is no history homework.
Everyone should bring their Chromebooks to class on Tuesday. Though we won't use them everyday, it's probably a good habit to charge them each night and bring them everyday for science and math classes. I will try to let you know in advance when we will be using them.
If you did not get a homework update email from me tonight and would like to, please let me know at jchester@nusd.org.
