Byzantine Empires & the Crusades

On Thursday 17th, Jan. we covered Chapter 9 Section 4 of your text, the Byzantine Empire and the Crusades. We then discussed writing essays and using graphic organizers to help us prepare for writing. If you were absent, you will need to do the following to make up what you missed:

1) You will need to read Chapter 9 Sec 4 of your text and complete the notes as much as possible. You may copy from a friend any notes you may be unable to find. However, you MUST read the section to get the full material.

Notes: Byzantine Empire & the Crusades

2) Once you have taken your notes, create some type of graphic organizer: an outline, a word web, T chart, etc. that organizes all your notes from this chapter into major themes. You should have a total of three green notes sheets. Each notes sheet will represent on of the major themes of your essay. You will condense everything you learned into one essay.

3) Using your graphic organizer, write a standard 5 paragraph essay (1-2 pages) on the developments of the early European period.

IMPORTANT: Being absent you missed much of what was said about essays. If you have any questions, confusion or concerns, please come see me.

Thanks.
