Seventh Graders,
You are to read the following statements about the Middle Ages (roughly 500 to 1400) to two different adults and ask them whether they are true or false. Yes, they can guess! Each of these statements is often believed, used in movies and tv, written in books, used in documentaries, but not all of them are actually true!
+ Thousands of women were burned for being witches in the Middle Ages
+ Bibles were locked up in church so nobody but the priests could read them
+ The poor were always nearly starving in the Middle Ages
+ Peasants’ houses had thatched roofs with animals living in them
+ People took baths once or twice a year
+ Middle Ages Marriages were commonly in the month of June because it was close to the regular bathing time, so people smelled good then
+ Even educated people believed the earth was the center of the universe
+ Even educated people believed the earth was flat
Bring their answers (along with the name or relation of who you asked) in tomorrow on a paper you can turn in. If you did it on your computer, you must either print it out or rewrite it on a paper.
Due tomorrow, Wednesday, January 4th
