Today in Humanities class we had a double block day and we had a lot of work to do. First off we had to do a geography challenge test which consisted of history, people, land and water masses. The reason we did this was so we could learn about geography knowledge that we would need in real life. Mostly you would need to know about languages religions you would defiantly need to know about continents and water and you should also know the history of the world. The reason we should know this is if you ever wanted a job or if you wanted to be a historian or someone who makes globes you would need to know this important information.

We also had to look back at the movie the first knight. We didn’t exactly watch the movie but we watched the first thirty minutes which had someone explain what had happened in the middle ages. There were three parts in the middle ages which were the early middle ages the high Middle Ages and the late middle ages. In the early middle ages there was someone called King Charles or Charlemagne. Charlemagne was very important not because he was king, but his acts as king what he did was he had made it so even if you are a very poor person you could still have food. He did this by having the people alive to make more crops which mean more food and more food means more people. He also had built roads all across Europe so that more people could get around. In the high middle ages there were the Crusades. The Crusades were mainly made up of villagers. The Crusades had wanted to travel to Jerusalem because they had wanted to steal the religion because they didn’t think the Jerusalem’s weren’t as religious. The reason why the villagers had willingly gone to war is because the leader had told them that if they had fought for Gods side they would go straight to heaven. Once they had arrived in Jerusalem they had found out that they were even more religious than them. They had also learned s lot of things while they were there. They learned roman numerals languages and much more. The late middle ages were probably the worst time in the middle ages. First of all there was terrible weather which meant fewer crops. Also in the early middle ages Charlemagne had made it so that there was way more people so in the late middle ages less food and more people meant more people would die. It was even worse because there was a disease called the Black Death which meant if you had it you would die in five days.

In second block we had gone to the library because we had to work on our blogs. All we had to do was find out who had been posting what we had to do and follow everyone blogs. The most important thing was critiquing each other’s posts. What we had to do was look at each other’s blogs and see what we did wrong.
