Crusades Debate 4/5

Use the comments section to hold a debate on the following Question:

Should the Crusades be considered a Holy War?

Use evidence from the reading linked below to engage your fellow students over whether the Crusades were a religious war or an economic/political event. You must comment AT LEAST twice: once by Tuesday night and once by Thursday night. Participation will be graded on quality of comments. Provide new evidence and analysis. USE THE READING!

Also, utilize the "Reply" function so that we can follow conversations. Create a new comment when you are making a new point.

I suggest drafting your comments in a word/google doc file and then copy/pasting it into Blogger. Sometimes, the comments don't save and I'd hate for your to lose your work.

Welcome!

Hello AP World Students!

We will be using this blog to enrich our studies of World History. You will be both authors of this blog as well as commentators. I encourage you to use this space to interact with one another as well as to seek help in a public forum.

Here are a few guidelines for this blog:

-When choosing a Display Name, make sure your real name is in there somewhere! If I can't immediately identify you, you do not get credit for the work. Also, display names must be appropriate.

-Please remember, the same behaviors that are expected in class are expected here! I will screen capture and report poor behavior to the school. Be respectful of one another and use proper language! Poor behavior will result in penalization.

-Although this is a casual space to discuss World History, I do expect you to use the English language. DO NOT USE IM/TEXT ABBREVIATIONS!



All the best!
-Ms. Mallon
