  4. Quiz 5 ===> Essay 5 • Read Essay Question #5 • What information from the Reading Quiz 5 can you use to answer Essay #5? • The Black Death (disease) is a case study/example through which we can describe how “backward” the medieval period in EU was. • How to develop the essay beyond this case study?

  5. How to develop the essay beyond the case study of the Black Death?(Ch.16 & 19 + lectures) • The historical context • The “dark/backward” facet of EU societies • Balance the judgments: “medieval tried the best they could” • Notes: • Don’t forget the Intro and the Conclusion • Use linking words to link one paragraph to another (Firstly, Secondly…, In addition to, Moreover, Next…) • Start every body paragraph with a general statement • Then provide specific examples, details, analysis to support THE (only one) general statement

  6.

  7. How to develop the essay beyond the case study of the Black Death?(Ch.16 & 19 + lectures) • Describe the historical context: in European history • Main characteristics that historians used to apply to the “dark/backward” facet of EU during the periods in question: • Balance the judgments: • The Church, w. its hierarchical organizational structure , would provide community • During the Black Death, people tried hard to explain the causes of the disease and to cure people within their limited knowledge. • From 1000, European societies started to expand through economic activities and the spread of Christianity.
