Middle Ages Culture & Gothic Cathedrals

On Mon. 6th, Feb. and Tues. 7th, Feb. we discussed the culture of the Middle Ages and one of the greatest cultural achievements of that time - the Gothic Cathedral.

If you were not here, you will need to do the following in order to make up what you missed:

1) Turn in your packet on debating The Separation of Church and State. You should have the following papers:
- The worksheet that you answered questions after reading the two articles (Jan 31 & Feb 1)
- and the debate presentation you made (Feb 2 & 3)

2) You will need to write a one page report on Gothic Cathedrals. You will need to do your own research but your report must answer the following questions/topics:
- What was the purposes of cathedrals? Why did the people of the Middle Ages build such elaborate places of worship?
- What is the difference between a Romanesque cathedral and a Gothic cathedral?
- Describe the architecture, style, artistic elements of the Gothic cathedral? (windows, stained glass, flying buttresses, gargoyles, etc.)

3) You will also need to complete the following 10 questions by using your textbook:

Assignment: Universitites and Vernacular Literature

You should have these three things on your return. Thanks.
