Each student will be allowed a standard notecard to use on the test. The possible prompts are as follows:
1) Discuss some of the key events that led to the Great Schism. You should be able to describe at least two key events and/or causes that led to the Great Schism and then a consequence.
2) Describe the Feudal system: describe a medieval manor and its residents and explain its economic structure.
3) What new advances in farming came about during the Medieval era in Europe? What did they lead to and how did they make it possible for more people to become craftworkers and merchants?

Early Medieval Europe Readings
Over the course of the unit, we will be going through different sections of the textbook in class. Whenever we did a section of the readings, the questions will be due the same day and there will be a reading checkpoint made available the next day to start the class period (unless there were other instructions). The Google Forms online correspond to a specific topic/lesson in the textbook.
Revival of Towns and Trade
Picture yourself in this scene of life in the Middle Ages. You would have labored with your parents in fields that belonged to the local lord. Like most people of your age, you would not have attended school. You and your family would have lived without much hope of freedom or change.
But in the distance you might have glimpsed something that promised a better life-the walls of a town. In towns, peasants found more opportunity. Towns offered markets where peasants could sell crops. Crops could also be traded for other goods. By the 1000s, the towns were growing richer as trade increased. The increase in trade was brought about, in part, by better ways of farming.
Feudalism and the Manor Economy (5)

Feudalism and the Manor Economy
Charlemagne was able to unite much of Western Europe. After his death, however, his empire split apart. The collapse of Charlemagne’s empire left Western Europe open to invasion. It also led to the development of a new system of life called feudalism.

Spread of Christianity and Medieval Culture
Religion shaped life in the Middle Ages. In the countryside, the pealing of church bells was one of the few sounds that echoed over the quiet fields. Country roads carried the traffic of pilgrims and crusaders on their way to worship sacred relics or fight in a holy war. In this age of devotion, even the natural world looked very different. A rose, for example, was much more than just a beautiful flower. To the medieval mind, it might symbolize some spiritual truth.
In the growing towns, too, the sights and sounds of faith were part of daily life. The streets were crowded with frequent processions-solemn lines of people walking to or from the churches. On holy days, in particular, the air smelled of incense and carried the sounds of religious chanting.

The Early Middle Ages in Europe
After the western Roman empire collapsed, Western Europe began an era of social, political, and economic decline. But from the ruins of the Roman empire, a new European civilization emerged. Historians call this period of European history between ancient times and modern times—roughly from 500 CE to 1500 CE—the Middle Ages. Its culture is called medieval civilization, from the Latin words meaning “middle age.”

What Were the Primary Reasons for the ''Fall'' of Rome?
From about 50 BCE until the year 200 CE, the Roman Empire was the superpower of the Mediterranean world. During that time, the empire's wealth, territory, and international status grew and grew. But even as the empire prospered, it was slowly starting to fall apart. Some of its problems were internal—coming from within Rome itself—and others were external. This DBQ explores the factors that led to the eventual downfall of one of history's most powerful and influential empires.
Before writing, the class will go over the attached documents to help you and your peers better formulate your arguments as to why you think the Roman Empire fell.
