The focus of today's class was the 3rd pillar of the Middle Ages - the Manor System.

The class defined the term Manor, and discussed how a manor is self-sufficient using DBQ Document 5.

The class began a partner activity titled "Manor Part 1." With their partners, students are to read about the lives of priests, serfs, knights, lords, millers, and traders. For each position, students are to determine what his/her responsibilities are, challenges a person in that position might face, and how much power a person in that position might have/what the person's quality of life might be like (see attached assignment).

Homework:
