Memes, DBQs, & Finals

Now that Activity Points are completed, please balance your time between finishing up the reading and completing the DBQs that are due next Tuesday.  If you have not finished your meme background, please contact me so that we could make arrangements (last day in class for 3rd period is Friday.)  PLEASE NOTE: The DBQ rubric is now posted to the website (near the assignment page) and the Final Exam Review sheet will be posted before the weekend (be sure to check the website).  Next week we will go over how to place text on the memes, briefly conference regarding course recommendations, and then review for the final exam.

Welcome Back & Happy New Year!

I hope you had a wonderful and refreshing break.  Up next before the end of the semester and final exam review are the meme projects and a short DBQ project.

Today's Frame - Christendom

Medieval Europe conceived of itself as "Christendom"- God's Kingdom on Earth or a lesser version of the promised paradise in Heaven available to believers and pious individuals.  How did Christian theology infuse itself into all aspects of daily life in the Medieval period?  (think about our buckets)

Today's Frame - Early Medieval Europe

How did Medieval Europe blend together ingredients from German barbarian culture, the Roman Empire, and The Roman Catholic Church? (Cultural diffusion)?

Today's Frame - Dar al-Islam

How did Dar al-Islam reflect a diverse, yet relatively unified Islamic civilization during the Middle Ages?  How did it find its parallel in Europe's Christendom?

Today's Frame - Spread of Islam

How and why did Islam spread so rapidly following the death of The Prophet Muhammad, creating Islamic empires known as caliphates?
