Objective: to identify the steps to the fall of Constantinople! Using the big fat world history books, read ch 8 section 3 beginning on page 195 with The Turks struck from the East
Your task: • Imagine you are a reporter from either Rome or Baghdad and you must report back to your home city the events of the fall. From your perspective describe at least 3 major players and 3 events with dates that led to the fall. So you are looking for people, places, dates and events….How did this happen. Remember if you are a Muslim your hero(s) will be the Christian’s villains and vice versa….
Now: • Using this site: The URL: http://www.readwritethink.org/files/resources/interactives/Printing_Press/ • You are to turn your prewrite into an editorial from a Muslim or Christian perspective about the fall of Constantinople. The information you used from pg 195-196 about Turks and Ottomans is background informatin and should be used to introduce your editorial-chose 2 events/people/dates. Then use pages 196-197 as your editorial response (FALL)- Use your 3 events to describe the fall. Use emotion, write about the events, who were the heroes? Villains? What does the opposing side think? Explain why your perspective is right and theirs is wrong. Have a picture of the event.
Background: • Seljuk-Turks beat Arabs = leaders (Sultans) • 1071 Battle of Manzikert • Ottomans (Osman) – ghazis • 1402 Battle of Argora = Tamurlane (mongol)
