WHAP Day 53 - Feudalism & the Byzantine Empire

Day 4 - PAW 4

KC3.2.I. Empires collapsed in different regions of the world, and in some areas were replaced by new imperial states or political systems.

KC3.3.II.  The fate of cities varied greatly, with periods of significant decline and periods of increased urbanization buoyed by rising productivity and expanding trade networks.

Objectives:  Compare feudalism in Japan and Europe.  Identify the factors that led to the emergence of feudalism in western Europe and the Byzantine empire in Eastern Europe.

Task:  Good morning!  When you arrive to class, please take a card from the front table.  We'll use these cards to determine which topic you'll explore today.  Then, you'll spend half of the class creating a graphic organizer to compare feudalism in Japan to feudalism in Europe OR examine the factors that led to the emergence of feudalism in Western Europe and the Byzantine Empire in Eastern Europe.  Finally, we'll spend the last portion of class reviewing your work.

Focus Question 1:  To what degree were the societies of medieval Western Europe and medieval Japan different?  What accounts for the similarities in these two societies?

Focus Question 2:  To what extent were feudal Europe and the Byzantine Empire significant breaks from or continuations of the Roman Empire?
