Today in class, students took an open note check on 8.3: The Medieval Church. If you were absent, you will need to make an appointment with me to make this up as soon as possible.

Next, we discussed the 3 Pillars of the Middle Ages (see attached handout for images):

1. Manorialism - how is a manor seen as self-sufficient? What can you find on a manor and why?

2. Feudalism - what is feudalism?

3. Latin Christendom - the Roman Catholic Church

Students took out their completed ABC-Clio Notes on "Feudalism and the Three Orders." As a class, we discussed the vocab terms on the top of this handout (vassal, fief, clergy, monk, and commerce).

We began discussing the concept of feudalism (see attached PowerPoint).
