Today's Assignment - 9/2

World History II(H) - A / B Blocks

For Tuesday (9/8): Read "Geography" and provide a written response to the prompt - "Why is it so important to understand European geography in order to understand European history?" (no more than 1.5 typed pages)

For Wednesday/Thursday (9/9; 9/10): Read "The New Monarchy Thesis" packet. Prepare for a quiz on the reading with the following focus questions in mind:
  1. What is the progression of government structures in Europe since the fall of the Roman Empire? What role does the Catholic Church play in that progression?
  2. Why is there such conflict between European power structures by the 14th - 16th centuries? What are the results of the conflict?
  3. How does the new social structure in Europe by the 16th century influence governmental structure and organization?

These are simply major focus questions - read the packet and take notes with these as the overarching ideas - you are accountable for the major ideas of the whole packet.
