Task Two
Read the handout on the Middle Ages and at least two books from the library. Make sure you take notes on your readings using some of the strategies we have learned in class. Your notes should reflect what you have learned about Europe during Medieval times and the role Islam played in medieval times. You will be given time in class to work on this, do not leave it to the end.
When you have finished your reading, answer the following questions in your notebook.
1. How well did feudalism establish order in Europe?
2. How influential was the Roman Catholic Church in medieval Europe?
3. What was life like in medieval European towns?
4. How did the Byzantine Empire develop and form its own church?
5. How did the Crusades affect the lives of Christians, Jews, and Muslims?
6. What important innovations did medieval Muslims make?
