Main Ideas:

The medieval church had a system of status similar to feudalism.

Church and political leaders continued to fight for authority and power.

Words Worth Knowing:

        Clergy: religious officials such as priests, bishops, cardinals, and the pope

        Sacraments: religious ceremonies to help people reach salvation

        Canon law: the laws of the Church which all Christians must follow

        Lay investiture: ceremony where clergy were appointed by kings

Pope Gregory VII: banned lay investiture to get more power from king

        Henry IV: Holy Roman Emperor who tried to get Pope to step down and waited in snow for 3 days to be forgiven

        Concordat of Worms: compromise between Church and Emperor about lay investiture (1122)

We watched this video in class which should help you understand the controversy between Pope Gregory and Henry IV. Lay Investiture Swing

The Dark Ages

Back to the West and the Dark Ages...

Daily Objectives

• Multiple Intelligence Survey (Left Side: Graph) - this is to indicate what type of learning styles best fit your needs.  Then you can use these types of strategies more often in your notebook
• Dark Ages - each class stopped at a different point in the MME.
• Left side: Choice! Spider graph or word wall.

Main Idea

The Middle Ages began after the fall of Rome and ended during the Renaissance (500-1450). During this time there was less learning, more fighting, and people started speaking different languages. 

WWK

Medieval:  means the same thing as Middle Ages
Middle Ages: time period between Roman Empire's fall and the Renaissance.
Dark Ages: the beginning of the Middle ages; dark because it was a hard period to live in due to lack of education and food.
Germanic Tribes: groups that invaded and re-settled Europe. Couldn't read or write, but they had a strong oral tradition.
Dialect: the way a person speaks changes based on location of community.

Here are some documentaries if you're interested about several of the barbarian groups...

Attila the Hun (23 mins)

Saxons (45 min)

Vikings (45 min)

Franks (45 min)

Vandals (45 min)

The Celts

Huns

Also, here's the MME from class. Please review it!

Interactive Notebooks, Day One

Are you liking the notebooks so far? Confused? Pulling out the colored pencils?

I'm okay with any of these answers. It means your brain is working!

To review the steps of what we went over today:

No Daily Objectives since we were setting up our notebooks.

Title Page:

9th World History
Name
Hour
School

Table of Contents: 3+ pages titled

Right side Syllabus - it's posted on its own page here. Take a look at it. Print it off if you need to put it in your notebooks! (If you don't have access to a printer, that's cool too. I have hard copies.) Not sure how to tape it in your notebooks? Ask me and/or I will try to get some pictures up this week.

Left side Syllabus - "Give me Five." Title your page. Underneath write: 5 things I learned from the syllabus. Slap your hand in the middle of the page and outline it. Read the syllabus. Write something you learned in each of the fingers. Bonus: write something extra you learned in the "palm." (THIS IS HOMEWORK IF NOT FINISHED IN CLASS.)

Right side: Notebook Guidelines - can be found posted on its own page here. Same rules as syllabus.

Left side: Notebook Guidelines - "Draw 3 For Me." Draw three things you can do on the left side of the notebook. Check out the guidelines for examples. (THIS IS HOMEWORK IF NOT FINISHED IN CLASS.)

Homework:
Any Left side activities not finished in class today. I will do notebook checks for the first time Friday or Monday!

Other tips:
More effort means more points! Does this mean I grade on artistic ability? No. I'm grading on EFFORT. If you have tried your best, you'll get the points and possibly extra points as well! THIS IS YOUR TEXTBOOK!

COLOR ON LEFT SIDE ONLY - except color sorting for WWK (don't know what that means? Tune in tomorrow!)

Personalize your notebook!

Reminder for Monday

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen (Jellybeans? Gentlebots?)

As a reminder, we will be switching to the interactive notebook format Monday.

If your notebook is filling up, please make the attempt to get a new one. Comp books are preferred, but spiral is fine if it is what you have. We'll be using a lot of space!

Also, if you have tape, highlighters, colored pencils, or glue sticks, bring those to class. I'm not asking you to go shopping for a bunch of supplies, but if you have one or two of the items above, bring them with you.

Monday, we'll take a break from history, get our notebooks set up, and go over my syllabus.
Tuesday, we'll head right into the Byzantine empire in all it's shiny glory. Anyone who leaves a comment on this post with the name of the famous Byzantine empress pictured will be the lucky recipient of extra credit.

I hope everyone does well on the test and has a great weekend! Come Monday, we're all set to go!
