Socratic Seminar Postponed due to shortened class period and general anxiety... However, you will still need to bring  at least 1 primary doc for each of your chosen categories (a minimum of 3 documents).

• If you are having difficulty finding sources I will help you in class, but you must come prepared with at least 1 doc for each category.

The following example provided for those who need further document use clarification - do not just print the docs provided and bring them in - you will need to justify how the documents support your claim at the beginig of class so find evidence that specifically supprts your position!

• Possible documents from units studied that you could use if you believe that the Church imposed the Christian ideals and will focus on politics and education as your primary reasons:

The Church politically imposed Christian ideals:

My argument: Used politics to control behavior, manipulated scripture to create and justify war in the name of God, encouraged religious intolerance.

Primary support:

• Excommunication, Cannon Law and power of the Church
• Call for Crusades: Pope Urban excerpt
• “Philip Augustus Orders Jews Out of France”  Scroll down to doc 6

The Church imposed ideals through Education: Controlled curriculum, student enrollment, used art and architecture to teach the illiterate and reinforce the ideals.

• Richer of Rheims: Journey to Chartres, 10^th Century
• Art: Painting and Illuminated Manuscripts
• Cathedral Power Point
• Medieval Universities and Education
• Science and Medicine
