Read through the following worksheet, and answer the questions at the end on a separate sheet of paper: Crusades Worksheet. The grade for this assignment will count as a makeup for the quiz you missed.

The Northern Crusade

Watch the video on the Northern Crusades. You do not need to turn in anything on this, but some information from this video will be found on the Unit 3 Exam. I recommend taking notes.

The Reconquista

Watch the video on the Reconquista. You do not need to turn in anything on this, but some information from this video will be found on the Unit 3 Exam. I recommend taking notes.
