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.
