World History Students,

Here is the first short video from the History Channel's documentary "The Dark Ages". As mentioned in class, you will need to watch this video WHILE TAKING DETAILED NOTES in order to complete the assignment you will be given in class on Friday, Jan. 28. All assignments are to be handed in at the end of the class on a loose leaf paper. REMEMBER TO WRITE YOUR NAME ON YOUR WORK. These assignments will be considered part of your class work grade.

The objective with these assignments is not only that you learn more about the medieval period in an appealing, visual manner, but also that you learn to take quick, yet detailed notes.

Good luck, and I'll see you soon,
Ms. Dimas

Analyzing Feudal Society Assignment

World History Students,

As you know, you were given an assignment on Friday in which you were to bring to class an explanation of an example (written in your notebooks) taken from a film, story, or fairytale in which the feudal system is present. Think about how the characters of the example you chose fit into the Medieval feudal system, do they belong to the ruling class (kings, queens, princes, princesses, etc.)? Or are they peasants? How is this shown in the story or movie (how can you tell)? If the example takes place in modern times and not the medieval era, how is feudalism represented?

I mentioned a few examples in class such as films pruduced by Disney and countless others. You may write between one to two paragraphs in your notebook for this assignment. On Tuesday, we shall be sharing and comparing the different examples you have brought in during class. Remember, if you have any questions regarding the assignment, please feel free to write me.

I am also including the Feudal Society Pyramid that was on the board on Friday for those of you whom did not get a chance to copy it as well as some additional information resources that I have found to be very useful.

Best of luck to all!
