Medieval Europe Vocabulary List
This is a list of words and concepts that we will be covering over the course of this unit. Although more focus should be spent on "High Priority Standards Vocabulary," you should also study the "Medium Priority Standards Vocabulary" as well. Both documents below - the .doc file and the .pdf file are identical.
http://www.uwgb.edu/dutchs/westtech/xcrusade.htm (This is a rather long and complicated read, but useful if you can understand it. Practice the skimming and scanning strategies you learned in class to find information here.)
We will be defining & working on these words throughout the course of the Renaissance unit once you have copied the vocabulary chart into your composition books. The typed version above is in case you are absent or need a more organized version to use. Keep in mind that the file will not fit neatly into your composition book.
To actually play this game at home, you would need to make a set of 100 "gold" cards, 25 "raw material" cards, 25 "food" cards, and 25 "industry" cards
