Joan of Arc & European Knights (12-12-14)

Please remember WIL 2.5 is due this week.  Your next exam will be given on Thursday and cover the Middle Ages, including feudalism and nationhood in Europe.  Your castle is due January 8th, but I know you will have a better break if you get it done before then.  Enjoy your Winter Break by getting your castle done BEFORE!!!

We read about Joan of Arc from the handouts you picked earlier in the week, then I explained the five methods of capital punishment (execution) still allowed in our country today: Electrocution, Gas Chamber, Lethal Injection, Firing Squad, and Hanging.  Pleasant topic, right?

We then jumped back to Knighthood by looking at how European knights were equipped during the Middle Ages.  I concluded by talking about how disgusting the era really was.
