Assignment:

I need help with the following assignment using Chapter 13 Early Medieval Europe, Chapter 14 The High Middle Ages & Chapter 15 The Crises of the Middle Ages in Western Civilization: A Concise History Volume 1 by Dr. Christopher Brooks

Define the following Key Terms:

Great Schisim, Babylonian Captivity, Conciliar movement, Scholasticism, Chivarly, Magna Carta, Troubadours, Compurgation, Wergeld, Courtly Love

"Commonplace Book" on investigating the history of Western Civilization (3 examples per Chapter)

Professor Alan Jacobs of Baylor University wrote an article for The Atlantic Magazine on "Commonplace Books," he wrote that one of the goals of these books was to "gather a collection of the wisest statements, usually of the ancients, for future meditation."

For this class, you are tasked with creating your own commonplace book entries in which you will write about quotes, themes, events, inventions, ideas, laws, and people from the textbook, videos, assigned articles, and primary sources that you found most significant or impactful to your analysis and investigation of the history of Western Civilization. Think of it as a way you can annotate what you are learning and sift out what you have found to be the most significant and impactful pieces of information or evidence.

Your "Commonplace" section should have:

3 examples per Chapter (quotes, descriptions of events, inventions, ideas, laws, and people (or anything else) from the textbook, videos, assigned articles, and primary sources that you found significant to our analysis and investigation of the history of Western Civilization.)
Each example should include why you found that example significant or impactful to our study of Western Civilization. Each example should be at least a paragraph in length.
Provide an in-text citation that includes the location and author of the example. For example, if you are using the textbook you can simply include: (Brooks, pg.12) or if using a Crash Course Video: (Ancient Egypt, Crash Course)

If you feel stuck, you can use the Unit Guiding questions as places to gather inspiration.

Guiding Questions:

How did the disasters of the fourteenth century undermine the feudal and manorial systems? And in what ways did the Black Death impact and change society and the political and economic institutions of Europe?
Reevaluate the Crusades, exploring the motivations that prompted the crusaders to embark on the journey to the Holy Land and assessing the outcomes and achievements of their endeavors.
Examine the recurring theme of power struggles between popes and emperors or kings to decide who should lead a Christian Europe. Review these struggles and assess the strengths and weaknesses of both parties and their positions in this historical struggle. What were the strategies employed by each side to uphold and extend their power or influence?

Legacies/Connections to Today (Choose One - make sure to provide specific examples):

Compare the social hierarchies in medieval times to present-day social structures. How have notions of class, privilege, and mobility evolved over the centuries?
Explore the role of religion in both medieval and contemporary societies. How has the relationship between religious institutions and political power changed or remained constant?
What changed for you during the Covid pandemic? How did you see society change or act... Using your personal experience living through a pandemic, can you make or see connections or comparisons to what people experienced during the plague? Do you see differences? am not sinuating that the Covid-19 pandemic was on magnitude to the Plague. Instead, since COVID-19 was most likely the only global pandemic that all of us have lived through, I am hoping we can see connections/differences about how humans process and experience death, disease, and fear and the varying magnitudes of that.
