Monasticism

• Secular Clergy-Priest, bishops, and the pope—They lived among the ordinary people• Regular Clergy- Monks and Nuns

and lived according to strict rules. Monks lived in monasteries and nuns lived in convents

• Monasticism- way of life in convents and monasteries. These people believed a perfect Christian served god by prayer, fasting, and self denial

method of appointment)• Simony-People could pay to assume

high positions in the church• World lives of clergy- Priests were

too wealthy and normal people started to question this policy

heresy- Murdered People for heresy(tortured them)• Quick Trials and most were burned

at the stake

• Overview/Objectives:–Students will read primary sources

to understand different perspectives of the Crusades • including Muslim, European,

Jewish, and Byzantine.

Procedures:• 1. Students will be divided into 4 groups-

Franks, Byzantines, Palestinian Jews, Arab Muslims.

• 2. Each group will receive a different packet of sources or a web page of links. In these packets or pages is a variety of information, depending on the group, such as Background information on their group, maps with cities and trade routes, pictures, and writings.

Product creation• Students will work together and research and

put together a video news story (like Dateline or 20/20) of about 5 minutes demonstrating their perspectives on the Crusades, with specific focus on the first three Crusades.

• Other possibilities for projects may include a newspaper or an Internet magazine.
