1 Name: Document Packet Week 13: Middle Ages/Dark Ages/Medieval Times Date: In this packet you will have all the documents for the week. This document packet must be in class with you every day. We will work with these documents every day. WEEK 13 DAY 1 DOCUMENTS: Whole Class Middle Ages Background The Middle Ages were a dark age for Europe. Near constant invasions and scant resources required that Europeans develop a new system for living. This system included all aspects of life, social, political, and economic. It was called Feudalism. Feudalism Feudalism was a social, political, and economic system that dominated all aspects of medieval life. The economic portion of feudalism was centered around the lord's estates or manor, and is called manorialism. Manorialism is the economic portion of feudalism where all aspects of life were centered on the lord s manor (big house) including peasant villages, a church, farm land, a mill, and the lord's castle or manor house. A lord's manor would include peasant villages, a church, farm land, a mill, and the lord's castle or manor house. Manors were self sufficient; all economic activity occurred on the manor. This meant that little to no trade occurred during this time period. Most of the peasants during the Middle Ages were serfs. Serfs were generally farmers who were tied to the land. They were not slaves because they could not be bought or sold, but they could not readily leave the manor either. Serfs were given land to farm in exchange for service to their lord. This service usually involved working the lord's fields, maintaining roads and the manor, and providing military service in times of war. Serfs paid taxes to their lord in the form of crops. This is also how the paid the fee to use the manor's mill or other services. The lords had responsibilities also under this system. In return for the service and fees paid by the peasants, they provided land and protection to them. Lords also had to pay fees and give service to high lords and the king. Feudalism affected all levels of society.

2 Kings Give large land grants to Upper Lords called fiefs Give Protection Receives money, military service, and Upper Lords Give land grants to Lesser Lords Give Protection Receives money, military service Lesser Lords Give land grants to knights Receives money, military service Knights Give land to peasants/serfs Receives crops, labor Peasants/ Serfs Receives land to farm Pays with labor, crops

3 1) Explain Feudalism and manorialism and how they are different. 2) What is the difference between a serf and a slave? 3) Explain a mutual obligation during the middle ages. 4) Why were the Middle Ages considered a dark age? 5) Create a BLPT cards for the Middle Ages/Dark Ages, Feudalism, and Manorialism

4 WEEK 13 DAY 1 DOCUMENT 2: The people in medieval times in Europe were very religious. The Catholic Church firmly believed in labor and in prayer. People were taught that "to labor is to pray". The church also made it very clear that if you wanted to get to heaven, you had to participate in the sacraments. But what were the sacraments? The sacraments were a simple set of steps that, if followed, would open the doors to heaven. This was very comforting to people in medieval times. They did not understand a word of the mass, because the mass was in Latin, a language they did not understand. Most people could not read or write. But they did understand that if they followed the sacraments, they would get to heaven. The life of most people in medieval times was a harsh one. The thought of escaping to heaven was most attractive. The Catholic Church charged people money for some of the sacraments and accepted (required) donations to feed the poor and to build new churches. The Sacraments: 1. Baptism 2. Confirmation 3. Marriage 4. Penance. You had to confess your sins to a priest, and you paid money to do this. Penance also included acts of "good" behavior. For example, you might ask a visiting monk to dine with you. You might enjoy his company, but the invitation was an act of penance, an act of kindness. 5. Communion. This was the most important sacrament. Each mass, those who had confessed all their sins and had not yet committed new ones could participate in communion. During mass, people taking communion would receive a blessed wheat wafer and a sip from a specially blessed cup of wine. If you had not done ample penance in the eyes of the church, you could not participate in communion. If you did not participate in communion frequently, you could not go to heaven. 6.Taking Care of the Sick 7. Holy Orders. You could take holy orders at any time. A woman might have been married several times, yet she could still become a nun, provided she could find a convent to accept her. Once accepted into a monastery (monks) or a convent (nuns), you could not return to your former life. Not everyone took holy orders. But that was allowed as long as you balanced this by acts of penance.

5 The sacraments controlled daily life. Some like baptism were done once, others - like penance - were done many times. Since there was a charge for each sacrament, the sacraments generated enormous wealth for the church. The local priest and other church officials worked very hard. It's not that the church did not earn their success, but wealth flowed into the church because Christianity was at the core of medieval life. Everything revolved around religion. 1) Why did the people in medieval times want to go to heaven? 2) Why did the people in the middle ages believe the church without question? 3) What did everything in medieval life revolve around? 4) What are sacraments and how did the church benefit from them? 5) Why or why not do you believe the people benefitted from the sacraments? 6) Create a BLPT card for Power of the Catholic Church

15 Week 13 Day 5: Current Day Connections Middle Ages This is a new section to our week. In this section you will read a newspaper article FROM TODAY S NEWS and connect it to our topic. There are vocabulary words missing that you need to fill in while we are reading the article. Cuba church calls police to evict protesters Franklin Reyes / Associated Press Saturday, March 17, 2012 Fred Calderon, dissident spokesperson, second from left, stands with other dissidents as they speak to the press outside one of their homes after they and other dissidents were evicted from a church they had been occupying for two days demanding that Pope Benedict XVI air a list of grievances during his upcoming trip, in Old Havana, Cuba, Friday, March 16, Calderon said his group wanted Benedict to speak with authorities about freeing people imprisoned for political crimes, ending intimidation of dissidents, increasing access to information, expanding private property rights, doing away with travel restrictions and establishing a transitional government to end a half-century of Communist rule under Fidel and Raul Castro. Havana -- A decision by Cuba's Roman Catholic cardinal to call police in to remove dissidents occupying a church has sparked an uncomfortable debate about the institution's role on this Communist-run island at the worst possible moment: just 10 days ahead of a high-profile visit by Pope Benedict XVI. Cuban opposition leaders who had kept their distance from the 13 little-known protesters holed up in the Church of Charity since Tuesday nonetheless denounced the move by Cardinal Jaime Ortega to oust them, saying Friday that it was a black mark for a church that ought to protect human and political rights. The criticism was joined by human rights officials and some exiles, though others acknowledged that the dissidents put church leaders in a tough spot. Religious experts noted that the eviction of the occupiers was not unprecedented, with police called in just last month to remove protesters

16 from a camp outside St. Paul's cathedral in London, and Occupy Wall Street protesters removed from a church in New York last year. The 13 Cuban dissidents were removed from the church in Central Havana at 9:30 p.m. Thursday by 60 unarmed officers, who took them to a nearby police station, fingerprinted them and issued a formal warning before sending them home. The church said that it had secured a promise from the government not to prosecute the dissidents for their action. The group initially demanded an audience with the pope during his March visit, then asked that he mediate a list of demands on their behalf, including establishing a transitional government to end a half century of Communist rule under Fidel and Raul Castro. Blogger Yoani Sanchez tweeted that it was "an embarrassing night" for the church. 1) Write a summary of this article. 2) Disagree with this sentence and explain why: The Catholic church has as much power today as it did during the Middle Ages

17 WEEK 13 DAY 6: Writing Skills Middle Ages Independent Work: Write two paragraphs (minimum 8 sentences each) about the Middle Ages. You must use at least 4 documents to support your information. Your paragraphs should include manorialism, feudalism and the power of the Catholic Church. Write a counter argument for the following sentence: The Catholic Church controlled all aspect of daily life in the Middle Ages and still does today. Use your knowledge of the Middle Ages/Dark Ages to write a paragraph (minimum 8 sentences) that proves this statement wrong.
